Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
We're writing to invite you to create a short screen-cast (5 - 8
minutes max) showing us your leading-edge field-data collecting
practices.<br>
<br>
We're planning a <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.idigbio.org_wiki_index.php_Field-5Fto-5FDatabase&d=AwMCaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=OxMZ42ANTFIQMshw_QmG7cwUvX9dM43kqVO6FlXYdXc&s=_vSPdjN8JxV4QEKy7Epvkr_p4nSn7uEbxLShRugRcCs&e=">Field
to Database Workshop</a> that will take place March 9 - 12 in
Gainesville Florida. This workshop focuses on leading-edge and
current trends in best practices for collecting data (ecological,
specimen, genomic, audio, video, images) in the field.<br>
<ul>
<li>How do you plan what data to collect in the field?</li>
<li>How do your field-data collecting practices support data
that's perfect for reproducible science?</li>
<li>How do you collect data in the field? <br>
</li>
<li>Do you use forms? Websites? What about apps? Data standards
(Darwin Core, etc.)?</li>
<li>How do you get the data from your forms and apps into a
database?</li>
<li>How do you share field data and field metadata with your
colleagues to support discoverability?</li>
</ul>
Please show us what methods, software and templates you use. We'll
post these videos to the iDigBio website, along with any materials
or website links you suggest. <br>
<br>
We plan to have workshop participants watch these, using a
flipped-classroom approach. Then, on day 2 of our workshop, we plan
a session where we invite you to join us remotely, if it fits in
your schedule and time zone, for a discussion of the various methods
the students will have seen on day one, including your videos. In
this way, we can focus on a robust discussion, with time for
questions and insights from the various parties involved.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for considering this and making it possible for
us to spread our net wider to include more examples for the
students.<br>
<br>
Please send all videos and materials to me by Thursday, March 5th. <br>
<br>
In anticipation,<br>
Deb Paul, and the planning team...<br>
