MISIN provides species identification training modules to aid in the education of citizen scientists.
These training modules require Adobe Flash in order to properly be viewed in your browser. They are also HTML5 compatible, which allows you to view them on a mobile device. The training modules were produced by our partners with the Michigan Natural Features Inventory.
Users can expect to spend about 15 minutes completing a training module and this includes a 10 question assessment at the end of the training module.
