SK 669

COVID-19 has transformed the delivery of social services, and the mechanisms social workers use to support individuals and communities facing harsh realities due to lack of resources, infrastructure, and rural isolation. This course explores the necessity of using technology in ways which are relevant, responsive and mutually beneficial. With digital technologies expanding as a rapid pace in social work practice, this course also explores emerging realities for online social work practice while learning about the ethical implications of digital technologies in specific micro, mezzo and macro settings. Learners will be encouraged to move towards a practical understanding of the intersection of technologies in social work services, how their practice can be strengthened by understanding the affordances and limitations of innovative technologies, and as a result, further their digital fluency to engage in future practice. <br> Mode of Delivery: Virtual Asynchronous.
