Abstract
Traditional service learning theories stress the face-to-face collaboration with community partners to produce learning results featured by real-world audiences and real-world purposes. This article proposes a virtual service learning model through collaboration and partnership with open source communities to introduce user-initiated research and documentation to professional communication classrooms.
