Experiential Learning Cloud (ELC) Field Software

Experiential Learning Cloud is an online software system that all WKU Social Work practicum students are required to use for logging field hours and completing important practicum forms. Field Instructors are given a free account to provide approval on timesheet reports and student tasks that align with the CWSE EPAS nine core competencies. Field Instructors will also use the system to provide midterm and final semester evaluations. Previously this system was called Tevera.

Field Instructors can view program-specific ELC video tutorials below. They can also be found within the ELC under the "Learning Space" tab, along with general-ELC tutorials.
