Over the past few years, numerous highly ranked, Tier 1 universities across the United States have embraced the development of advanced online degrees, a niche of secondary education long held by a small group of private, for-profit universities. Rapid advances in online learning technology, increasingly sophisticated, and easy to use ‘learning management systems’ and ‘anytime, anywhere access’ has dramatically increase the demand of individuals, mostly full time employed, working professionals. This volume addresses the dramatic changes that are occurring in social work pedagogy as more schools develop online programs. The University of Southern California Suzanne Dworak Peck School of Social Work launched their ‘Virtual Academic Center’ with a cohort of 80 online students. The program has now reached a ‘steady state’ of 2,200 ‘virtual’ students now representing two thirds of their MSW student population. Additionally, the school launched a doctorate of social work degree with a focus on leading and managing innovation, leading public discourse and management of large complex systems. This book essentially tells the ‘USC story’ with the challenges faced in embracing this new technology, teaching social work courses in an online environment, as well as pedagogical enhancements made by faculty in converting traditional campus based courses to the virtual environment.

Social work education is facing an increased use of distance education formats, including fully online and blended/hybrid/mixed-mode models (Cummings, Chaffin & Cockerham, 2015; Hill-Jones, 2015; Zidan, 2015). However, many social work educators remain skeptical about the effectiveness of distance education formats (Moore, 2005; Pelech, Wulff, Perrault, Ayala, Baynton, Williams, Crowder, & Shankar, 2013; Sharkey, 2000; Vernon, Vakalahi, Pierce, Pittman-Munke, & Adkins, 2009) and research remains focused in that domain (Bentley, Secret, & Cummings, 2015; Cummings, et al., 2015; Hill - Jones, 2015; Kurzman, 2013; Reamer, 2013; Zidan, 2015). The field of social work education has yet to fully examine and adopt a consistent model for course design, implementation, and evaluation that supports the values and purpose of the social work profession (Blackmon, 2013; Reamer, 2013; Zidan, 2015). The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, a research-based seminal work, provides a structure for integrating a collaborative constructivist approach to course design, implementation, and evaluation (Garrison, 2017). The CoI framework suggests that by fostering three essential elements: social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence, a community of inquiry can be created to promote student engagement and learning (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000). This research explored the concepts of the CoI framework, its presence in the literature, and the framework's applicability to distance formats in social work education. Results of the study indicate that both students and instructors perceive the essential elements of the CoI in distance education format social work courses. Furthermore, the research indicates that the elements of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework exist in social work courses at all levels of study (BSW, MSW, and DSW) and in varied distance education course designs. Students and instructors with diverse experience with distance format social work courses recognize the existence of the primary elements of the CoI framework.

This book examines how the shift to remote teaching in March 2020 due to the global pandemic created new opportunities for innovation and creativity and shaped how social work classes were taught, with many temporary changes now part of permanent, standard practice. Drawing on narratives from 20 social work leaders across 17 different countries, the chapters explore particular themes and viewpoints on lessons learned during the pandemic, including case studies to examine copying mechanisms, insights into the transition to remote teaching, and the creative lessons that were learned. By taking an international perspective, it represents a key contribution to the scholarship of social work leaders from around the world concerning how institutions transitioned to remote learning and teaching and how these lived experiences and new discoveries are contributing to and influencing current practice. As such, it will appeal to social work educators, researchers, and field educators around the world with interests in experimental curriculum and field practice.
