Megan Meyer, PhD, MSW, Ashlie Kauffman Sarsgard, MFA, MA, and Lane Victorson, LMSW, presented the SSW's work developing a course template for SOWK 631, Social Work Practice with Communities and Organizations, at the 2022 Social Work Distance Education Conference: Leveraging Lessons Learned, which took place April 6-8, 2022 and was hosted by Our Lady of the Lake University Worden School of Social Service. Their session was titled, "Collaborative Development of an Intro Macro Course: Building for Blended to Fully Online Learning," and focused on the design, development, and improvement process for the course, the importance of and useful approaches to collaborative course design with a large development team, and challenges and lessons learned in the process. The work represents the efforts and contributions of sixteen faculty, PhD student, and alumni collaborators, an instructional designer, and several practitioners who were interviewed in the course, and models resource and expertise sharing in a highly adaptable format that exposes students to broader macro faculty.
