I picked this paper because I wanted to explore what was meant by extreme e-service learning (XE-SL). The concept actually dates back to Waldner, McGorry and Widener (2010), who define it as "service learning where both the instruction and the service occur 100% online". It was new to me, but I love the concept. In the current study, Valerie Bukas Marcus and colleagues investigate student emotional engagement in XE-SL. They suggest there are three essential elements: "course design with proper online platform, (ii) role of instructors and peers and (iii) personal value." I would imagine deeper study will minimize the role of the first and emphasize the importance of the third.
