Each course begins with four mandatory video modules for students to view at their own pace. Each is followed by 20 “Exercise Files” for homework, allowing students to practice echolocation call ID concepts included in each video. The exercises should be completed at least one day but no more than 1 week prior to the webinar presentation. The course materials are available to begin reviewing immediately upon purchase.
The live Webinar Presentation will be a 4-hour, interactive discussion of the Exercise Files. Instructors will review the Exercise Files, highlighting key qualitative and quantitative call characteristics in both SonoBat and Kaleidoscope PRO, to illustrate how to make confident species ID decisions. This allows students to assess their performance on the assignment and ask questions about disambiguating species. After completing the course, students will have developed more confidence to manually vet acoustic survey data collected from the region.
All Live Webinars will be presented on a Tuesday, beginning at 9am CDT. Prior to the webinar presentation, students need to log-on using the link above to download the pre-course video materials. At the end of each video, additional links to download the video transcript (PDF of the presentation) and the Exercise Files is provided. Students then have time prior to the video presentation to complete the exercises and prepare for the live webinar when instructors will discuss the call files from each exercise and students can self-grade their work. Live Webinars are expected to last less than 4-hours, but depending on actual number of species covered and the Q&A with instructors, may last longer.
Choose from Live Webinar Dates April 4 or September 26.
