Interactive simulations are revolutionizing social work education, providing students with a safe and standardized space to practice complex skills and reflect on their practice. Collaborating with the Online Learning/Academic Programs, the college of social work developed four simulated client social worker interactions allowing students to immerse themselves in challenging situations.

Learning Objectives:

  1. During this presentation participants will have the ability to learn innovative ways to engage online students through the use of simulations in the classroom.
  2. Participants will receive an overview of the conceptualization to implementation of a virtual simulation utilized in a classroom setting.
  3. Participants will receive an overview of the collaborative process with the UTK instructional design team.
