Abstract

This paper describes a needed and innovative service learning Information Security Management class that was designed, developed, and offered at Purdue University in spring 2004. This paper overviews 1) the need for service learning, 2) the more specific need for service learning in information technology and educational technology programs, 3) the need for information security in K12 school corporations as these bodies of work pertain to this experimental course. For faculty interested in developing a similar course, the paper then 4) highlights the course description and objectives as a reference point, and 5) describes how this course evolved from past work with an emphasis on the type of capacity that was needed to make such a course possible.
