Wildlife in the Cloud: Using websites, apps and other online resources for identifying and recording wildlife.
There’s a lot of wildlife on the web! Websites and apps can provide help with identifications, tools for recording and monitoring change, ecology courses, interactive blogs and social media – the possibilities are endless. This course provides an overview of some of the best natural history resources currently available, and offers guidance on how you can make safe and effective use of them, as well as contributing your own knowledge online. The course will cover a range of topics including iRecord, iSpot, online mapping, online keys, mobile apps, Facebook and Twitter. Come prepared to share your own ideas and online experience as well.
Tutor: Martin Harvey has worked in biological recording for over 15 years, with the national Biological Records Centre, the Open University’s iSpot project, Wildlife Trusts, and local records centres. He is a qualified tutor, and has led many workshops on wildlife identification and recording for FSC and other organisations.
