Abstract

University of New England School of Social Work field educators reflect upon the successful implementation of an online field education program within their fully-online master in social work program option. They discuss the early meetings, the school's history, efforts to find a common voice, and the model adopted, defined as a translation not migration. They stress the value of collaboration and share their favorite do's and don'ts. They conclude by stressing the value of a strong infrastructure in place prior to attempting such a project.
