Two papers
Ballantyne (1996) “Child care social work & the Internet.” & “Will IT change the face of social work education & training?”
Then = 1996 Now = 2008
Paper one
In “Child care social work & the Internet.” I wrote that...
“ The Internet is here to stay.”
The Internet is here to stay! Then Now Go back in time
Then there were an estimated  40 million   internet users worldwide Seemed like a lot
Now there are an estimated  1,320 million   internet users worldwide Now that  is   a lot Source:  Internet world stats
But the digital divide remains
I also wrote that...
“ While it is true that an important component of the Internet is the global distribution of  information ....”
“ ...over emphasis on this function draws attention away from the value of the Internet as a  participatory  medium for communication, networking, and building & maintaining  communities  of interest.”
A  participatory  medium for communication, networking, and building & maintaining  communities  of interest?
However…for a long time the Internet was a sprawling library of content With some shopping malls
And then…
Web 2.0 arrived
What is web 2.0? ,[object Object],Source:  Wikipedia  (2007)
Paper 2.0
“ Will information technology change the face of social work education & training?” & communications A debate
Yes : Neil Ballantyne No : Yanno Rafferty
What I wrote...
“ ...the real impact of new technology in social work education and training may not arise from heavy investment in externally designed courseware…”
“ ...it is the use of  electronic networking  in social work education that will enable a paradigm shift.....away from a  conception of new technology as a a means of distributing information…”
“ ...towards an understanding of the role of learning technology in supporting  active learning  & educational  dialogue ...”
What Yanno wrote...
“ social work is essentially about human interaction which cannot be replaced by a computer...” I agree but…
learning  is essentially about human interaction which  can  be supported by a computer
“… .a good trainer never actually uses the materials available - they pick and choose and modify to suit the students they are working with...” Yanno also wrote that…
and he’s right...
online content needs to permit adaptation & modification
hence learning objects.... visit the learning exchange
and online learning ought not to be about content alone
but also about conversations
content & conversations
face2face & online
Face to face learning Online learning Conversations Content Online communities Open learning materials Resource-based learning Facilitated discussions Study groups Seminars Symposia The course in a box Teach & test courseware Learning in the blender
Is there strong evidence that any of this is  “ changing the face   of social work education & training ” ?
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
No… technology does not cause learning "The best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence  student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes  changes in our nutrition"  Clark (1983)
But…the affordances of learning technology can support effective pedagogical design. And help make learning: more efficient… more consistent… more flexible… more affordable… more accessible
Many studies suggest there is  no significant difference between learning with  technology and with more  traditional methods Source:  No significant difference
But when studies suggest there is no significant difference between counselling skills developed working online  or face to face then that  is  significant. Source:  Ouellette  et al  (2006)
Whilst the Internet and the sum of human  information & knowledge continues to  grow at an alarming rate…
Human learning is limited by the fixed information processing capacity of  human cognitive architecture
The Internet The neural net cognitive social emotional
Some current concerns How can technology best support evidence-informed practice  in the workplace? How to design effective  educational multimedia? Can web 2.0 be harnessed for learning?
then now
