Previous Student Projects – Student experience during COVID-19
About
The aims of this inquiry were to explore the student experience of remote project-based placements. The research sought to explore how social work students from regional universities experienced online and remote research-based placements during COVID-19. The four student participants were undertaking a social work research-based placement during COVID-19, participating in a range of research activities supported by the academics in the research team. The co-operative inquiry was undertaken with a unique focus on the student voice.
