Abstract The focus of much research into teaching and learning is on how learners learn and how teachers teach but an additional factor is the teaching and learning environment. In the UK a framework for learning in the next century is being developed and in Europe agreements on co-operation are being forged. These will be examined alongside the growth of the use of communications and information technology in higher education institutions. The technology promises possibilities of global social work education but how realistic is this in a world where even countries with a shared language have different social systems, diverse education and practice settings and differing views of the social work profession?
