Description

Lockheed Space Operations Company's Technical Training Department provides certification classes to personnel at other National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Centers. Courses are delivered over the Kennedy Space Center's Video Teleconferencing System (ViTS). The ViTS system uses two-way compressed video and two-way audio between participating sites. Technical Training's goal is to conduct distance learning classes at least equal to those conducted on-site at the Kennedy Space Center. Formal and informal evaluation techniques are used to evaluate the program. Fifteen distance learning classes were offered by Lockheed Technical Training during 1992, resulting in a savings of approximately $50,000 in travel expenses.
