SUMMARY This paper reports on the evaluation of a world-wide-web-based social work research methods course in experimental design. The course was taught entirely on the Internet, with no meetings on campus. The same instructor taught another section of the same course during the same semester on campus. Descriptive process data and comparative student outcome data (grades and satisfaction) are presented. Recommendations are made for others considering such courses.

SUMMARY This article discusses the impact of the information economy on human services. The major topics discussed include: the changing nature of work, the impact of the cost of adoption of technology by the human services, the changing expectations the public has for agency use of technology, the move to electronic record keeping and data management, the need for developing a data integrity management process, and the impact of the Internet and intranets on software development.

SUMMARY This article provides an overview of the development of computer-assisted instruction and the history of related theories. It discusses the integration of an Internet-based shell program into traditional social work courses at Florida State University. A description of the shell program itself is also provided. The results of student surveys from two courses indicated that the majority of students felt that the computer work enhanced their educational experience and increased their comfort using computers. The primary difficulties that students had centered on technical problems or problems related to having access to computers.

SUMMARY The integration of computer training within social work education is necessary for social workers to keep abreast of technological changes occurring within human service agencies. This article presents several techniques to integrate computer simulations and Internet research within the baccalaureate curriculum. Emphasis is placed on the use of these techniques to teach policy and macro practice.

SUMMARY An evaluation of a part-time master's of social work program including 18 hours of interactive video instruction examined student academic performance, instructors' ability to achieve instructional objectives, interactions among students and between students and faculty, and quality of instructional environment. The evaluation was conducted following 12 hours of interactive video, “distance” coursework. Results of grade comparisons and surveys of students, faculty and staff suggest that distance education courses are comparable to the main campus courses in instructional quality. Students and faculty voice concerns, however, about limitations on interaction and spontaneity imposed by the interactive video environment.

SUMMARY Increasingly, social work educators have become aware of the impact of information technology. Electronic mail, for instance, is utilized widely in schools of social work by students, faculty, and staff. In addition, students are increasingly accessing electronic resources such as the Internet or online library resources for use in their class assignments. There are many applications of such technology in the field of social work, Including practice, advocacy, networking, communication, participation in policy formation, and teaching. This paper will describe how the integration of information technology can be used in a course on human diversity.

SUMMARY This paper provides an overview of the use of “communication and information technologies' (C&IT) in social work education in Britain. It outlines the development of the use of “learning technologies' generally, and focuses specifically, on the impact of “learning technology' in social work education and training. It looks at various factors influential in achieving, or blocking, cultural change in higher education, which may be of interest to social work educators in other countries.
