Tutor training for distance education is still necessary and through a face-to-face mode despite advances in digital delivery mechanism. A questionnaire records the before, during, and after training perceptions and feedback of tutors on the training conducted over 1 day. Tutors become aware of the uniqueness of the course materials and the Internet support through WawasanLearn. Questionnaire statements that are responded to positively are identified and there is evidence of increased confidence toward performing as a distance education tutor. Subsequent small-scale teleconferencing through use of Skype in tutor training was also initiated and this could be the precursor toward training tutors off site. (Contains 9 tables and 1 figure.)
