International Service Learning in Technical Communication during a Global Pandemic

In this article, we explore the innovative practice of initiating global engagement by incorporating international service learning in an online TPC class to address the issue of the digital divide in the post-pandemic context. By presenting an analysis of 10 student interviews, 15 reflections, and two community member interviews, we reimagine the TPC programmatic future within the virtual classroom and rethink service learning in TPC by (a) presenting an example of serving the global community and (b) providing specific ways of creating a sustainable and meaningful partnership in post-pandemic classes.
