Course Schedule For January For All Those Holiday UAVs

Key concepts related to unmanned aerospace systems (UAS) / recreational drones will be covered during a free online course being offered by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – Worldwide in January.

The massive open online course (MOOC), “Unmanned Aerospace Systems (UAS) – Key Concepts for New Users,” runs from Jan. 11 to 24. Registration opens Dec. 8.

The increasing popularity of UAS / recreational drones has created new safety challenges within the National Airspace System (NAS). Led by Embry-Riddle Worldwide faculty, the MOOC will address airspace issues – along with UAS basics, UAS operating environment and the do’s and don’ts of UAS / recreational drone operations.

MOOCs are another way Embry-Riddle Worldwide provides flexible instruction to students around the world. These courses let students work on assignments based on their own schedules and offer an online learning platform that encourages student interaction through discussion boards and social media platforms such as Twitter.
