Caring for First Nations Children’s Society is moving its traditional face-to-face instructional programs for BC Child Welfare social workers in Indigenous communities to a blended learning model using Moodle and Mahara. Inter-connecting worlds refer to practical training based on BC ministry policies, competencies and legislation in relation to Aboriginal practice standards and Indigenous ways of knowing, as well as the blending of face-to-face instruction and its relation to online learning. We ask ourselves, how do we honor these inter-connecting worlds that promote diversity, creativity, inspiration and knowing as practicing Child Welfare social workers? We will discuss how these considerations shaped our curriculum building, engagement and delivery methods within Moodle and Mahara.
