Abstract
Colleges experiencing an enrollment boost due to the poor economy need to hire more teachers to accommodate student demand. Offering distance education courses helps meet the needs of a growing student body while alleviating infrastructure and scheduling conflicts. This needs assessment study surveyed faculty at a small Pacific college to determine if there is a desire and what types of support, technology integration and training are needed to convert their face-to-face courses to a successful online format. The survey contained quantitative and qualitative questions regarding types of technology and applications used or desired, and experiences with distance learning and course creation. Survey results indicated there is a desire to explore teaching online and to receive technology integration training.
