Use of Virtual Site Visits in Construction Management Distance Education
While distance and online education had some initial momentum with many universities fully or partially embracing distance education prior to 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the switch to distance education as a precautionary move. Site visits and hands-on experiences can provide valuable experiences to students during their education; however, in a distance education system, conducting a physical site visit and providing a hands-on experience is not an easy task. This paper reports on the use of virtual site visits and experiencing virtual hands-on training using immersive videos. This method has been adopted and tested in two courses that were previously face to face, which were then shifted to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of immersive videos gave students who would not have the ability to experience a physical site visit the opportunity to experience the construction site environment, and receive educational direction during a pre-recorded, hands-on, immersive video project. In the following, students’ provided feedback on their experience with this technology and its comparison to using other available tools in distance education is presented, and the implications for future research and the potential implementation of this technology is discussed.
