Abstract: | Tools supporting citizen scientists in learning complex observational tasks like taxonomic identification scaffold expert practice by specifically attending to the aspects of expertise relevant to citizen science. This poster describes our process for developing a visual representation that characterizes observational practices and moves entomologists make when identifying unknown organisms. We outline how this work is guiding the design of a digital teaching collection of freshwater insects, macroinvertebrates.org, to support citizen based water quality assessment activities. |
