Digital Imaging for Biodiversity Collections

Apply here: https://forms.gle/7iXixPtvzeTcHbJf8



The aim of this free, online Digitization Academy<https://digitizationacademy.org/> course is to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to (1) identify and describe relevant facets of biodiversity specimens that can be captured and shared with common digital imaging modalities, (2) identify sources of digital imaging protocols and best practices, (3) identify and prioritize major differences among digital image file formats, hardware, and software options, (4) explain the workings of a digital SLR or mirrorless camera/lens, camera control software, and image processing software, (5) archive and share digital images, and (6) anticipate new uses for digital images of biodiversity specimens, such as in artificial intelligence and immersive media.



Participants do not need prior knowledge of digital cameras or specialized software, though participants are required to have access to a digital camera and lens during the duration of the course.



The course will occur from July 21–24 (Monday–Thursday) between 11 am and 3 pm EDT US time (New York City time; 11:00-12:30 and 13:30-15:00 UTC-4). 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 US may apply.



The course will be led by Austin Mast with contributions from a panel of digital imaging specialists.

Applications are due by 9 am ET on Friday, June 20. We expect to cap the course at about 20 participants and will make admission decisions based on the relevance of your training to your organization's future activities and a desire to engage a diversity of perspectives.
