  • 1.  How do you pay for Field Placement Software?

    Posted May 26, 2025 14:03

    Hello, everyone. 

    I am the Field Director for a moderate (?) sized BSW program that is beginning our new MSW program this fall. We have NO money, so we are going to try IPT software this fall. We have been using paper and then tried Google Drive.... I'm curious how your programs pay for better software like Tevara or Exaat? If the University pays for it (or for most of it), do any programs share the platform with other degree programs in your college or University? 

    In my college, we have 3 departments: Nursing, Kinesiology and Health Studies, and (mine) Health and Human Sciences. All of the degree programs in these departments offer internships. Only nursing and (in my department) Communication Sciences and Disorders have software specific to speech language pathology. I think it's paid for with a speech clinic they have on campus.  So I'm curious if any has used Tevara or InPlace or similar software platform that is shared between different majors for economy of scale. 

    Thanks!

    Hi Angie,

     

    We use Sonia and it is payed for by student lab fees associated with their practicum classes.  We do share the software with Nursing and split the cost.  I am actually trying to recruit other programs to use Sonia because for us if a few programs use the software the University information management budget will pick up the cost.  Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks,
