ITS at Colgate (a leading liberal arts institution) has teamed up with faculty to use commercial hobbyist quadcopters and Arduino technology to assist in student research programs to capture photography and other environmental observations, capabilities previously only available to large research universities, with amazing results for both learners and researchers.
OUTCOMES: Understand ways to capitalize on emerging and consumerized technology to assist faculty and staff in their research efforts * Brainstorm other technologies that can be brought to bear to help expand learning and research * Identify concerns and possibilities of operating unmanned aerial systems in the context of a small university or college
