We are excited to announce the new NatureCounts Post-secondary Curriculum! This series of modules introduces graduate and undergraduate students to the NatureCounts data platform, covering the value of open data, the structure of data schemas, accessing data through NatureCounts, analyzing data in R, and more.
The curriculum is ideal for independent study by students and recent graduates, or for integrating into coursework in ornithology, ecology, or conservation. It is particularly useful for students considering graduate or undergraduate thesis work that may use existing avian data either in addition to, or in place of, novel data collection.
The NatureCounts Post-secondary Curriculum is freely available in both English and French on the Birds Canada Learn platform, along with a variety of other resources to support the use of NatureCounts. To explore the curriculum and other resources, visit www.naturecounts.ca/learn.
