Abstract:The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) e-construction initiatives utilize key software programs—ProjectWise, Bluebeam, and CATS—that currently lack adequate on-demand training. This study aims to develop innovative and engaging e-construction training programs to increase usage and understanding of ProjectWise, Bluebeam, and CATS across the department. e-Construction training practices at the national, state DOT, and commercial level were initially investigated. GDOT’s current e-construction training practices were evaluated to understand existing training content and opportunities to improve Department training. A survey and subsequent meetings were conducted with GDOT Office of Construction personnel to fully understand the software challenges and training goals. ProjectWise, Bluebeam, and CATS training programs were developed consisting of PDF guides, instructional video demos, and interactive computer-based training (CBT) modules organized asynchronously into beginner and intermediate–advanced topics. Through a multifaceted approach, the training programs offer on-demand, engaging online materials that increase productivity in the programs, resulting in resource and time savings for the Department.
