This article describes and evaluates a new alternative: distance-based training using live video and audio courses transmitted via the Internet. This alternative may address each of the problems described above, that is, it may provide a distant expert who selects and delivers training to paraprofessionals in a cost efficient manner. Because the course is a live broadcast, the instructor can teach in an interactive manner by presenting information, obtaining responses from paraprofessional participants at a distance, adjusting instruction if necessary, and addressing questions. The authors found no research literature on live, distance-based education involving special education paraprofessionals. Therefore, this evaluation is a basic one in which participants and advisory board members responded to topics related to technology, course content, and course delivery. The article describes an initial attempt to evaluate the alternative in regards to functionality of technology and delivery of distance-based instruction. There is no attempt to compare or contrast this alternative to other training formats.
