Abstract

This study compared learning objectives achieved in hybrid/online social work courses through MSW student use of avatars and virtual communities (n = 25) to those achieved in a traditional course (n = 22). Learning outcomes were compared through students' reflections on “cocktail party” exercises occurring either in virtual communities or in class. The potential for and barriers to successful implementation of virtual communities in social work education are discussed. In summary, virtual communities and avatars present a vital opportunity for individuals to experience different perspectives, which, in turn, can nurture culturally competent skill building.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
