Abstract: This article explores issues in the integration of experiential and computer-aided learning, with reference to a spreadsheet-based simulation exercise developed to assist in the teaching of community care to social work students. The spreadsheet served as an information centre to link the activities of interacting groups of students, in such a way that process issues of inter-group relations could be explored within the context of theroles required by the implementation of the National Health Service and Community Care Act. The exercise is analysed critically with particular reference to the potential and limitations of the computer model, and theextent to which spreadsheet-based modeling can deal with the questions of value and priorities which are raised by the simulation. |
