Immersive learning: FSU College of Social Work to launch AI-powered tool to enhance child welfare education

Child welfare professionals and Florida State University College of Social Work students often face challenges in developing the necessary skills for effective observation and interviewing in real-world settings.
Now, FSU’s Information Technology Services (ITS), in collaboration with the Florida Institute for Child Welfare, (FICW) is launching a virtual training solution that can enhance practical skills through an immersive AI-powered tool that supports the educational journey of higher-education students and pre-service child welfare investigators and case managers.
“This innovation is a crucial advancement for our social work students, as it provides them with the practical skills and experience needed to excel in their future careers through a virtual platform,” said David Springer, dean of the College of Social Work. “By offering a realistic and immersive training tool, we are ensuring that our students are well-prepared to make a meaningful impact in the field of child welfare and social work.”
