Delivery of Transportation-Related Programs through InteractiveTelecommunications, Distance Learning, and Downlink Broadcasts

摘要

The objective of this project is to investigate the available avenues for thedissemination of information on transportation health and safety to transportation professionals, students, researchers and the general public. Technologies such as interactive telecommunication, distance learning, and downlink/uplink broadcasts can play an important role in information and technology transfer for the University Transportation Center of Alabama (UTCA), but in order for these tools to be fully utilized, faculty and other potential instructors must be able to use them with minimal effort and a high level of comfort. Provided with adequate information and support documentation, professors, instructors and researchers involved with the UTCA can use new technologies to successfully and efficiently transfer information and technology to target audiences throughout the state and beyond. The resource and web site information resulting from this project should provide the information necessary to facilitate this process.
