“…As indicated above, a primary benefit of moving service learning away from the in-person requirement includes “freeing it from geographical constraints” (Culcasi et al, 2020, p. 24). For some students and in some geographical areas, an in-person requirement can be difficult for various reasons—for example, transportation, work schedules, family responsibilities, and distance to a community site.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged educators in numerous ways. One particular area of challenge has been the inability of students to go to traditional service learning sites. The present article explores electronic service learning, which focuses on service-learning opportunities that do not require face-to-face interaction with community partners, and provides two examples of alternative service-learning assignments used in a developmental psychology course. Eighteen students enrolled in an upper-level course on child development engaged with course material and empirical articles to understand the content of various children's books or to create educational videos for children. A library of storybook recordings and electronic videos produced by the students was then shared with a local nonprofit organization's preschool teachers to use in their classrooms. Students reported very positive experiences with these assignments and highlighted the benefits of electronic service learning, in particular. This assignment could easily be adapted to other courses within psychology and some examples are described.

“…Molti progetti di SL tradizionale sfruttano già le potenzialità delle TIC come parte integrante del servizio, quando ad esempio si realizzano o si aprono blog per diffondere i propri risultati attraverso i canali social, per cui può già risultare familiare questa peculiarità "ibrida" (Culcasi, 2020). Tuttavia, questa formazione di Service e-Learning vuole sovrapporsi al concento di SL in quanto è stata pensata come metodologia e-Learning che coinvolge gli studenti attraverso la tecnologia nell'indagine civica, nel servizio, nella riflessione e nell'azione: autoregolazione nell'apprendimento attraverso contenuti multimediali.…”

The use of technology is an interesting device, which constitutes a useful self-training approach, related to an experience, from which to extract significant materials and traces of their personal learning. In Italy, Service Learning (SL) projects that use digital media in the university environment are still rare and therefore there are not many data and research results related to the introduction of SL in the training of future teachers. On the contrary, at the international level we find a vast scientific literature on SL and its applications, also in the academic field. Service e-Learning (Se-L) can in fact represent an essential approach for university education, which allows students to mobilize skills, putting into practice what they have acquired, and to improve their self-efficacy. Ability to check if your knowledge has an applicability, useful in a real-life situation, opportunity to develop digital skills and self-reflective on their actions. The contribution presents a training experience to the Service e-learning (4 meetings, for a total of 16 hours) realized in the academic year 2022/23, for the Project [PR]A.S.S.I. with a sample of 260 students enrolled in the first year of the Master of Science in Primary Education (LM-85bis) of the University of Palermo. In this experience we have chosen to give voice, consistency to the actions and methodological choices of university students who, through specific activities, were able to express the enormous potential of technology as a relevant tool to promote engagement and learning, factors linked in SL. It presents a laboratory path of Service e-learning that takes advantage of the potential of the MED, the referral to the internal and external resources of the person, to intercept, tune and strengthen its generating tension useful to itself and the community service. Technology, a source of strategic information in order to identify the progress of experience and skills, has thus been considered a training engine-effect for the construction of critical thinking and personal identity.
