E-Learning in Aviation
by
Whereas traditional classroom instruction requires pilots to be pulled "off the line", a training facility to be maintained and instructors to be compensated, e-learning is extremely cost-effective and therefore an attractive alternative. However, e-learning only saves money if the training is effective. Eager to reap financial benefits, e-learning courses have a history of varying dramatically in quality. The poorest courses are those that directly convert classroom-based presentations to an online format, not recognizing that computer-based instruction is an entirely different medi.
Towards Sustainable Aviation
by
Aviation is integral to the global economy but it is also one of the main obstacles to environmentally sustainable development. It is one of the world's fastest growing - and most polluting - industries. What can be done to retain the economic and other benefits it brings without the associated pollution noise congestion and loss of countryside? In this volume industry policy and research experts examine how to address the problems and what it would take to achieve genuinely sustainable aviation - looking at technological policy and demand-management options.
