Abstract
ABSTRACT This article reports the use of online live-streamed simulations (online LSS), implemented on Zoom with Master of Social Work students. A thematic analysis was conducted from an online survey (n = 26 responses) to explore, 1) if online LSS can offer the same potential to develop holistic competence as in-class simulations, and 2) how students experienced learning social work practice through online LSS. Students reported learning procedural and meta-competencies, and indicated that online LSS provided a space to focus in on the procedural, relational and affective elements of online client sessions. We suggest that online LSS can offer similar training potential as face-to-face simulations, and that online LSS can offer unique learnings to assist students in developing competencies relevant to online practice.
