Abstract

This paper discusses the creative methods used to teach Microsoft Visual Studio.NET in our College program. The techniques included overlapping of course coverage to provide continuity and implementation of projects that incorporated several different technologies with direct real world application. Although problems and difficulties were encountered, the strength of the techniques, benefits to students, solutions offered and programs implemented produced positive results that could be replicated in other College programs.The future of these programs lies in the advancement of these technologies that will continue to provide students with the opportunity to integrate various programming, Web and mobile technologies into real world projects that can directly impact their communities. The addition of such a Service Learning component will enhance the effectiveness of the course instruction and provide the students with a sense of civic responsibility while benefiting the local community partners.
