This paper examines the use of drones mounted with a 360-degree video camera to facilitate site analysis of remote sites in instances where it is not feasible for an entire group of students to visit a site, and to provide the opportunity for repeated review of such sites. By utilizing drones and 360- degree video cameras, it is possible to provide students with an immersive virtual experience of a site that can be referenced continuously throughout a project. This research describes the use of 360-degree video to document a half-acre site. Students were asked to conduct a site analysis by viewing the video using Google Cardboard and a computer. The site analyses produced by the students were compared to determine their effectiveness, and a focus group was held with students who participated in the experiment to gather feedback on the experience of using the 360-degree video. The results of the experiment suggest that the technique can be used effectively to conduct a general site analysis, and is especially effective when coupled with additional resources about a site. It is concluded that students are able to successfully conduct a remote site analysis by utilizing this method.
