Show 202 Katy Seppi The purpose of this research is to assess the training needs of faculty and staff who are currently teaching distance education courses within the College of Social Work at the University of Utah. This project will involve both faculty members and students as participants. Faculty and staff from both the BSW and MSW programs who have taught distance education courses will par-ticipate in structured interviews. The interview will consist of questions that will identify areas in which the instructor would like additional training in regards to teaching distance education courses. In addition, students who have taken BSW or MSW distance education courses will par-ticipate in focus groups. These participants will represent students from each campus currently using distance education technology including Salt Lake City, St. George, and Richfield. The fo-cus groups will identify concerns and observations of students regarding their experience taking distance education courses. The results of this study will be used to develop training curriculum for faculty teaching distance education courses.
