In April 2020, a health charity requested advice from the Health Psychology Exchange (HPX) on implementing reflective practice for health professionals. This case study describes a consultancy project which included providing advice and piloting an intervention to provide psychological support to UK health professionals during the coronavirus pandemic. While the role of communication technologies could be further developed as a means of addressing some of the limitations of distance and fewer professional resources in these areas, it simultaneously risks imposing an urban-centric bias upon social work practice in rural and remote communities.
The findings suggested that having access to communication resources, such as the internet, Telehealth and Telepsychiatry, appears to be positively addressing some issues of rural and northern practice. In-depth interviews were conducted with thirty-seven clinicians. The purpose of this exploratory, qualitative study was to examine how developments in communication technologies have influenced the way social workers practise social work in rural and remote Canadian areas.
Recent advances in communication technologies have the capacity for addressing many of the challenges identified with rural and remote social work practice, such as scarcity of professional resources, professional isolation and limited access to supervision and professional development.
From these findings, the paper concludes with some benefits of using Elluminate Live! in enhancing the learning experience of the students. These sessions allow them to clarify their doubts, and to resume studying, without any confusion, from a location of greatest convenience to themselves. Participants also found Elluminate Live! extremely beneficial, particularly when e-Learning sessions were scheduled before assignment due dates and examinations. A descriptive analysis has revealed that the students had expressed satisfaction and excitement regarding the use of this revolutionary technology. An online survey was sent to 145 students to gather information about their experience with Elluminate Live!. This paper attempts to explore students' perceptions of the use of Elluminate Live! as a synchronous e-Learning tool to supplement the traditional classroom learning. However, there has been little empirical research published to assess the effectiveness of synchronous e-Learning tools, particularly from the view of the students. Thus, the use of the web conferencing system, as a platform to facilitate teaching and learning activities in higher educational environments across the world has received increased attention. Recent advancements in information and communication technologies (ICT) and the increasing efficiency of bandwidth have led to the growing popularity of synchronous e-Learning.
