This paper describes six years of experience in a bi-annual personal computer (PC) repair, service learning project for IT students. The location is a relatively remote community of professionals with many personal computers exposed to a humid salt air environment. The idea came from an informal survey at a local elementary school where half the students with a PC indicated that they were broken. At the end of each semester, for the last two labs of our PC hardware and operating systems class, we invited people from the community to bring in their PCs for service troubleshooting help and repair advice. This paper explains how issues of data integrity, security and liability were solved as well as the learning outcomes from these six years of service learning computer repair workshops. |
