Summary:

Based on five years of work & research on simulated learning experiences, this book highlights the integration of simulations in practice, research, & policy classes at the School of Social Work, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). It illustrates the versatile application of simulations in teaching social work practice across various settings, including mental health, schools, libraries, disabilities, & end-of-life care. It explores the use of simulations in teaching clinical research methods, program evaluation, policy analysis, macro social work, & fostering interprofessional collaborations. This book further discusses the use of online simulations in social work education, highlighting the pivotal role played by doctoral students in designing & executing simulations, aligning them with specific learning objectives, & facilitating student engagement & reflection in various contexts.
