Drones are being used in higher education for a number of purposes, including research, teaching, facilities operations and for business. This group meets on a quarterly basis and focuses on building community among drone operators, pilots, educators, stakeholders, and managers who authorize operation requests in an educational context. We do this by sharing ideas, resources and experiences, as well as staying abreast of and sharing technological and regulatory developments that impact drone operations. The group will also discuss topics such as benchmarking, interpretation or understanding of FAA (for aircraft drones) or other regulatory body’s rules and regulations, lobbying for legislation, hands-on testing and training techniques, etc. Guest speakers join the group periodically to present and discuss relevant topics of interest. Additionally, the group interacts and shares information with other groups outside of EDUCAUSE that manage, educate and build community around drone operations.
