(February 2017, in American-English, duration about 10 h, platform canvas.net)
The course is comprised of two modules over a two-week period, consisting of several pre-recorded presentations, coupled with interactive discussion boards, supporting links and videos, and faculty and subject matter experts responding to attendees questions/comments.
Content:
Module 1 :
- 1.1 – sUAS Core Concepts
- 1.2 – sUAS Extras
- 1.3 – Discussion: The Planning Conundrum
- 1.4 – FAA Part 107 Introduction and Considerations
- 1.5 – Module 1 Quiz
Module 2 :
- 2.1 – sUAS Core Concepts
- 2.2 – sUAS Extras
- 2.3 – Cool Tools: Where on Earth Am I?
- 2.4 – Discussion: You and the National Airspace System (NAS)
- 2.5 – Module 2 Quiz
There is no prerequisite knowledge related to this course apart from basic to intermediate computer literacy. To be successful in this course, you should plan to spend approximately 3 to 5 hours a week working on each module. For me, sUAS was a new topic. So, I enjoyed especially the basic information and interesting / amazing video links in module 1. Module 2 is more about the US National Airspace System, a subject, that I’d already studied in the Aviation Mooc of ERAU
