Abstract:This article explores the challenges of developing open access online multimedia learning resources in the area of Interprofessional and Interagency Collaboration in the social work curriculum in England. The article outlines the process of developing these web-based interactive e-learning materials. It considers the different domains and discourses and the identities that the project brought together. These included those involving the commissioners, developers, subject material authors, and peer reviewers; and those of theory, research evidence, and professional practice. The article reflects on the complex process of developing research-informed materials to enhance student preparedness for professional practice, through engaging with authentic scenarios.
