INTRODUCTION
This modern society is ushered in by a dramatic technological revolution. It is an
increasingly diverse, globalized and complex media-saturated society. According to Dr.
Douglas Keller, this technological revolution bears a greater impact on society than the
transition from an oral to print culture.
Education prepares students for life in this world. Amidst emerging social issues and
concerns, there is a need for students to be able to communicate, function and create
change personally, socially, economically and politically at the local, national and global
levels by participating in real-life and real-world service learning projects.
Emerging technologies and resulting globalization also provide unlimited possibilities for
exciting discoveries and developments.
