This has led to an increased emphasis by social work educators to explore and share the outcomes of simulation-based learning opportunities to prepare students for the field. Prior to the pandemic, Dodd, Heslop, and Meredith (2018) discussed the need for interactive, engaging, and immersive simulations, facilitated by modern technology to bridge the gap between knowledge and skills in social work education. However, post-pandemic, minimal research exists on social work students’ perspectives and experiences participating in online simulation-based learning opportunities. Online electronic objective, structured clinical examination (e-OSCE) is one form of online simulation-based learning, and this chapter will share findings from a qualitative case study that was conducted with online MSW students’ experiences and perspectives on completing and participating in an online e-OSCE.en-USPublisher Policyeducationsimulation-based learninge-OSCE simulationsCOVID-19Article
