The document discusses extension and linkages activities that higher education institutions can engage in to meet accreditation standards. It outlines the requirements for industry-academe linkages, academic linkages, government and professional organization linkages, and IT outreach programs. Institutions must provide documentation showing faculty and student involvement in activities like research collaboration, training programs, conferences, and seminars. It also provides definitions and examples of service-learning programs. Service-learning combines academic studies with community service, where classroom lessons are applied through service and then reflected upon. It discusses how service-learning has been implemented at Silliman University in the Philippines across various departments since 2001.
