While the original project involved utilizing Interactive Television as the means for broadcasting preservation trades courses, ultimately wireless digital technology was used for implementation. A one week dry stone masonry course was conducted at two college sites some fifty miles apart. The course was broadcast in real time to both sites simultaneously. The Master Instructor alternated sites each day so students at each site had the experience of interacting with him since this was a pilot project.

The implementation of the project presented its share of technological challenges, but none were impossible to solve. Future projects will benefit from the lessons learned by all parties in the process. At the end, the project was successful in that we were able to use wireless digital technology to transmit real time video and audio to both sites making the instructional experience interactive. It is then possible to take the instructors expertise and broadcast this to students in remote locations.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/breaking-the-virtual-barrier-a-model-program-for-preservation-trades-education-and-training-utilization-2011-04/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/study-on-the-durability-of-traditional-and-modified-limewash/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/study-on-the-durability-of-traditional-and-modified-limewash/#comments Fri, 08 Jul 2011 21:23:46 +0000 Sarah Jackson http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=11381 http://ncptt.nps.gov/study-on-the-durability-of-traditional-and-modified-limewash/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/project-team-explores-forgotten-african-american-history/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/project-team-explores-forgotten-african-american-history/#comments Fri, 01 Jul 2011 18:12:59 +0000 Jeff Guin http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=11191 http://ncptt.nps.gov/project-team-explores-forgotten-african-american-history/feed/ 5 http://ncptt.nps.gov/new-nps-guidelines-on-sustainability-available/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/new-nps-guidelines-on-sustainability-available/#comments Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:38:19 +0000 Ed FitzGerald http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=10952 http://ncptt.nps.gov/new-nps-guidelines-on-sustainability-available/feed/ 2 http://ncptt.nps.gov/infrared-and-raman-users-group-irug-lanuches-an-online-searchable-spectral-database-and-bibliography-2003-03-2/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/infrared-and-raman-users-group-irug-lanuches-an-online-searchable-spectral-database-and-bibliography-2003-03-2/#comments Sun, 29 May 2011 15:31:09 +0000 Derek Linn http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=14409 http://ncptt.nps.gov/infrared-and-raman-users-group-irug-lanuches-an-online-searchable-spectral-database-and-bibliography-2003-03-2/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/lead-paint-and-historic-buildings-training-manual-2002-07/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/lead-paint-and-historic-buildings-training-manual-2002-07/#comments Sun, 29 May 2011 14:49:34 +0000 Derek Linn http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=14460 http://ncptt.nps.gov/lead-paint-and-historic-buildings-training-manual-2002-07/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/patrick-sparks-talks-about-texas-dancehall-preservation-inc-and-the-restoration-of-hay-street-bridge/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/patrick-sparks-talks-about-texas-dancehall-preservation-inc-and-the-restoration-of-hay-street-bridge/#comments Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:24:20 +0000 Jeff Guin http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=10331 http://ncptt.nps.gov/patrick-sparks-talks-about-texas-dancehall-preservation-inc-and-the-restoration-of-hay-street-bridge/feed/ 0
