Peer Reviewed Journal via three different mandatory reviewing processes, since 2006, and, from September 2020, a fourth mandatory peer-editing has been added.
Within social work practice courses, video recording has been
used to record and evaluate the clinical practice skills of students.
This process has been limited by labor-intensive, tapebased
video equipment, non-digital means of organizing and
assessing specific scenes and events within the video, and paper
evaluation forms. As an interdisciplinary project, professors
from professional disciplines (education, social work, and counseling)
worked with information technology students from
computer science to design and develop Table PC-based One-
Note EVAs (Extended Video Application) that would provide a
more effective way of evaluating clinical practice skills for
professional program students. This case study presents how
one interdisciplinary team was able to create an EVA for use
with digital recordings of clinical practice skills so that these
demonstrations could be recorded, organized, and evaluated
more effectively. The issues of working through communication
differences, design difficulties, and the additional steps
toward implementation are explored. The lessons learned from
working as an interdisciplinary team and the impact of Tablet
PCs in social work practice courses is also presented.
