eTrainings on Flying Sensors in Kenya
March 22, 2021
In March and April 2021 HiView, together with FutureWater, is conducting a series of online courses on Flying Sensors and processing & interpretation of aerial imagery.
​
The Covid19 period brings good things too! In a comprehensive course, HiView and FutureWater are reaching out to a few hundred participants with our newly developed eTraining program. The lectures are hosted by Egerton University in Nairobi, Kenya.
​
A team of 4 lecturers deliver a dozen of sessions, that vary from setting up a drone unit and hands-on processing to the overall capability of Flying Sensors for crop monitoring.
​
The participants received this new form of knowledge sharing enthusiastically. The chat function turns out to be crucial for communication. During the lectures, a participant at any moment can put forward a question or a comment and the speaker is able to react to that in the session.
​
The platform that is used is Doodle, a software dedicated to educational use. It offers, next to the virtual classroom, various services like upload and download facilities, helpdesk, record function, and more. Real-life training is the best, but this constitutes a very good online alternative. Surely many eTrainings from our side will follow!
The eTraining for Egerton University is supported by TMT Nuffic, Netherlands.
