Abstract | In an attempt to improve services to rural populations, distance education has become an increasingly popular form of continued training to adult audiences. The increasing workplace demands on social workers require a feasible solution to providing on-the-job training for those who reside in both urban and rural areas. Social workers need to know more information to keep up with changing policies and provide quality services, while at the same time increased responsibilities make it more difficult to leave the office for training or education. Following a needs assessment, multimediated training for social work professionals was planned. The first of 10 modules was designed, developed, and beta tested prior to field placement, and this paper reports the results of the beta test aimed at checking the perceived quality of the multimedia lesson. The trainees were social workers who lived in rural areas and the developers were a team of people with various professional skills. In general, the subjects responded favorably to the multimedia training. The design adjustments recommended from the beta test can be categorized into three areas: content; instructional design; and technical integrity. (Contains 33 references.) (Author/AEF) |
