==Digitization Academy== | |||
iDigBio is translating its past successes with professional development into a more standardized and predictable set of digitization training opportunities called the "iDigBio Digitization Academy". The academy's first 4-day course "Introduction to Biodiversity Specimen Digitization" received such strong interest from the community that it was offered twice in Summer 2021. A second 4-day course "Public Participation in Biodiversity Specimen Digitization" will be offered in December 2021 with additional course offerings being rolled out in 2022. | |||
