    Marking the centenary of the First World War, registration is now open for 'World War One: Aviation Comes of Age', which will allow users to explore the aerial aspect of the conflict through a series of academic resources and multimedia content.

    The massive open online course (MOOC) will be available through the FutureLearn platform and is part of a pilot project involving the BBC and four UK universities. Courses will begin between October and November 2014.

    You can use the hashtag #FLaviation to join and contribute to Twitter conversations about this course.

    The magic of flight and its grim military potential

    The course will look at:
    • how technological innovations turned the aeroplane into a machine of war and how British factories developed to supply the pilots of the Western Front with aircraft and ammunition.
    • how the aeroplane became a commercially viable tool for the first time, with passenger and mail routes starting to appear
    • how the government tried – and failed – to regulate the aviation industry
    • how all the key moments in the air in the Second World War followed from lessons learned during WW1.
