How about an experience in distance learning.  Using the Georgia Tech
Center for Media-Based Instruction, I would be happy to organize a training
session that uses 3-4 HPS experts at different locations around the country
and broadcast their training lectures live to several remote locations
simultaneously.  We could also use our videotape capabilities to make
videotapesof this training short course for distribution.  What do you
folks out there think?
