Skaidrės skaitytos 2016-06-14 darbiniame seminare Kauno Botanikos Sode - piliečių mokslo / jaunųjų tyrėjų projekto „B. Pajiedaitės takais“ mokymų dalis. Skaidrėse pateikta informacija apie duomanių rinkimo programėlę išmaniesiems telefonams (Android ir iPhone) EpiCollect Plus, ir kaip ją naudosime samangyvių mėginiams registruoti. Paskutinėse dviejose skaidrėse - nuorodos į aplikaciją, projekto duomenų bazę, pasiekiamą per naršyklę, ir tikslias naudojimosi instrukcijas "bryozoa" projektui. // Slides presented at Kaunas Botanical Garden workshop for citizen science / young researcher project "On the trail of B. Pajiedaite". Describes the use cases of EpiCollect & how we are going to use this app for registering bryozoa samples. Last two slides indicate how to access the app & the project through browser, and detailed instructions how to use the app for the "bryozoa" project.

1. „On the trail of B. Pajiedaitė“ project:
using EpiCollect+ smartphone app to track collection sites
Eglė Marija Ramanauskaitė, Citizen Science reseacher
MSc in Molecular and Cellular Biology & Education Science

2. Entire project data on one shared map!
• No paper maps
• No GPS
• No camera (although you can
have one!)
• No paper note taking or
drawing (shame…  )

3. Just one smartphone app.
• Takes coordinates &
elevation
• Date & time
• Can add photo & other
media
• Can answer form questions
(of own design)
• Add comments

4. • Sends to central server
• Visualize entries on the map / add
more data later
