 ==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 Digitization of Biodiversity Collections" will be offered in December 2021 with additional course offerings being rolled out in 2022.
+The Digitization Academy offers a set of complementary courses on topics related to digitizing data about biodiversity. Digitization Academy courses are online, free, and open to everyone from the world’s biodiversity collections and research communities. There are two formats. Short, 2-hour courses on emerging topics simply require registration; multi-day courses provide a deeper dive on foundational topics and involve smaller cohorts and an application process. More information, including the current course catalog, is available at digitizationacademy.org.
