The current knowledge society is the germ of one of the deepest transformations in the university history, not only in social terms but also pedagogical. In this sense, global connections and internationalization are emerging as two of the aspects that have most affected the foundations of the university because both permeate all the processes that take place in it. If we add the rise of new methodologies like service-learning, in which the learning processes are combined with a service to the community, we are facing a real challenge due to the combination of both elements. In this article we analyze the possibilities of academic and pedagogical integration of service-learning in a technological and international projection. For this, we carried out a deep literature review in order to make an approach to both international service-learning and electronic learning-service. In addition to their similarities, we conclude that both hybridizations allow service-learning to respond to the pedagogical tendencies that have the greatest impact in a global context for higher education: international mobility and the irruption of technologies. However, the different forms of electronic service-learning seem more realistic and adjusted to the current situation than international service learning. This is especially accused in economic terms, since information and communication technologies allow to counteract the inconveniences that arise when a mobility component is introduced within a regulated training context.
