Hello!

Friendly reminder that applications close November 20th for the free, online course Public Participation in Digitization of Biodiversity Collections taking place December 16-19 (Monday-Thursday).

Apply at: https://forms.gle/u2anwVHChKsPQoZA9

This course is focused on public participation in science as it relates to digitization and research using biodiversity specimens. Public participation in science is sometimes referred to as citizen science, community science, or crowdsourcing. For more information on learning objectives, see the course tile at https://digitizationacademy.org/courses. This course is targeted at those already associated with a biodiversity collection, such as student technicians, collections managers, curators, affiliated educators, or administrators.

The course will occur from December 16–19 (Monday–Thursday) between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm Eastern. Participants can expect to spend three hours per day in synchronous meetings and as much as two additional hours of preparation time per day outside class. So this is about a 20-hour time commitment.
The course will be delivered in English. Those interested in participating from outside the U.S. may apply.

Applications<https://forms.gle/u2anwVHChKsPQoZA9> are due by 10:00 am ET on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
