Problems
• Not enough members in a Service Learning team
– The school is relatively new, therefore there is not enough students to fill the teams.
– Each with special expertise in a certain area of the project. (Doesn’t necessarily have to be someone with an engineering major)
– Problem comes from schedule conflicts.

– This system will also determine a student’s availability by his or her schedule.
– Eliminates standard filing and schedule conflicts.
Sub-team #4IT team
• Objective: To help other service learning teams with their plone website.
• Started by learning the basics of plone; attended plone tutorials with both Dr. Gavilan and Shuan Ekhause.
• The team that we helped was the A Woman’s Place
• We will still be here next semester willing to help the next service learning team.
Future Recommendations
• More ideas to improve the information system.
• Recruitment
