This paper summarizes an extremely successful problem-based service learning project for a sophomore level systems analysis and design class. Students were divided into three teams of 3-4 students. Each team designed and implemented WebQuests for the client, a second grade teacher at a local elementary school. WebQuests are web-based guided inquiry activities and in our case involved science and social studies curriculum at the second grade level. Students, the client and the instructor reported a highly successful experience. Guidelines for creating a successful problem-based service learning experience are provided and discussed.

Keywords: service learning, problem-based learning, systems analysis and design
