ABSTRACT

Similar to all academic disciplines, the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in social work has grown exponentially in both scope and volume during recent decades. Until the COVID 19 crisis, main driving forces were the growing demand for higher education, constant evolving of innovative technologies, cost effectiveness, and accessibility that it offers to those who are not able to benefit from traditional face to face classes because of their geographic locations, responsibilities or disabilities. The Covid19 pandemic drove social work education to become almost exclusively and universally taught online. This required a quick conversion of tradition courses and development of new courses to be taught online. This article discusses and illustrates issues, challenges and strategies related to the interaction between the faculty and technology experts in the context of developing online courses and points to directions for future research.

摘要

与所有学科类似，近几十年来，信息和通信技术 (ICT) 在社会工作中的使用在范围和数量上都呈指数级增长。在 COVID 19 危机之前，主要驱动力是对高等教育不断增长的需求、创新技术的不断发展、成本效益和可访问性，这些都为因地理位置而无法从传统面对面课程中受益的人提供、责任或残疾。Covid19 大流行促使社会工作教育几乎完全和普遍地在线教授。这需要快速转换传统课程并开发在线教授的新课程。本文讨论并说明问题，
