Abstract: This article focuses on sharing a teaching experience implemented by the Social Work faculty of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili of Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) with the students in the last year of the Social Work degree, whose practical training was interrupted due to the covid -19 lockdown. Considering this scenario and maintaining contact with the students through the virtual campus, the creation of a Wiki tool on the university's Moodle platform was proposed to the students. The principal objective was to accompany and give teaching support to students to get through this difficult situation. The use of the Wiki was valued as a positive experience that made it possible to configure, in a collaborative and creative way, a common space of reflection and analysis for the students. The usefulness of this new virtual methodology in university training is a complement to their face-to-face training, and in addition, it represents a small contribution to the development of students' self-care practices in a complex reality. In conclusion, the students themselves stress that it is essential to continue training and to be open to applying new professional methodologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
