Abstract The Internet has advanced more rapidly over the past few years than even the technology experts expected. It is changing the way people communicate with one another and learn in virtually every aspect of life. Education, and in particular social work education, is not an exception (Morgan, 1996). Rafferty (1998), for example, has no doubt that if higher education continues to integrate learning technology only into traditional teaching methods, and does not move forward to realize the enhanced pedagogical possibilities of new technology, then they are in danger of losing students. Surprisingly very little has been written about social work education and the Internet. This paper reports on an evaluation of an online course that was part of a larger study2 to develop an innovative Internet-mediated learning model for introductory social work education. Internet-mediated learning model refers to an approach to learning that emphasises online or Internet based activities as the primary medium for learning. |
