E-learning

Student learning outcomes are assessed continuously through the e-learning platform by means of online quizzes, individual study assignments, analysis of operational scenarios and case studies related to Human Performance and Limitations in civil aviation. Emphasis is placed on continuous self-study, active engagement with the learning materials and professional literature, and timely completion of all assigned tasks. The course is completed by a graded assessment consisting of a final written test verifying the achievement of the intended learning outcomes. To obtain the graded assessment, students must successfully complete all mandatory e-learning activities, pass the continuous assessments and successfully complete the final knowledge assessment.
