The Application of Drones in Chemical Education for Analytical Environmental Chemistry
Fun Man Fung, Simon Francis Watts · ACS symposium series · 2017
In recent years, Drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have become more accessible to the public as a platform for photography. Particularly in the last five years, they seem to be commonplace around the globe. So far, there are few reports on the use of drones in education. In this chapter, we document the use of drones as a new technological filming tool to enhance student learning in the field of analytical and environmental chemistry, environmental sampling exercises in particular. We share our developed and tested guidance for would-be academic drone users. Additionally, we present the perceptions of students towards drone usage and their feelings during the course of drone training.
