J. E. Dunn Construction Group 和爱荷华州立大学合作开展了一项创新的远程教育项目。利用微型电脑、数码相机以及免提耳机和麦克风； J. E. Dunn 总部大楼施工现场的工作人员通过无线技术向爱荷华州立大学建筑工程项目的学生传输实时施工事件的视频图像和语音信息。坐在高科技教室的远程学生能够观察和讨论 225 英里外发生的实际工地活动。一系列“虚拟”实地考察涵盖了项目的几个阶段，包括现场工作、地基、建筑结构和室内装修。其中一次虚拟参观由 J.D. Dunn 的能源与环境设计领导力 (LEED) 专家带领。在这次参观中，导游特别指出了那些为该项目赢得 LEED 分数的建筑构件。总的来说，学生对虚拟现场参观感到满意，因为远程参观对他们的日程安排的干扰较小，并且实现了相同的教育目标。尽管这种方法遇到了一定的技术困难，但信息技术系统的表现令人满意，并为许多项目利益相关者（如业主、建筑师、工程师和贷款人代表）展示了增加虚拟施工现场参观应用的前景。
J. E. Dunn Construction Group and Iowa State University have collaborated in an innovative distance education program. By utilizing a micro-PC, digital camera and hands-free headset and microphone; jobsite personnel at the J. E. Dunn headquarters building construction site transmitted, via wireless technology, video imagery and voice information of real-time construction events to students in Iowa State University's Construction Engineering Program. Remote students seated in a high technology classroom were able to observe and discuss actual jobsite activity as it occurred 225 miles away. A series of “virtual” field trips were conducted covering several phases of the project, including site work, foundations, building structure and interior finishes. One of the virtual tours was led by J.D. Dunn's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) specialist. In this tour, the guide specifically identified those building components earning LEED points for the project. Students, by and large, were pleased with the virtual site tours as the remote tours were less disruptive to their schedules and accomplished the same educational objective. Although this approach incurred certain technical difficulties, the information technology system performed satisfactorily and demonstrated promise for increased application of virtual construction site tours for many project stakeholders such as owners, architects, engineers, and lender representatives.
