Abstract
Citizen Science in Higher Education
Highlights
Considerable anecdotal evidence exists to show widespread usage of citizen science in higher education settings, but the published literature on its use is limited (VanceChalcraft et al in press)
It has been proposed that citizen science increases student engagement, provides opportunities to engage students in authentic research, highlights the applied relevance activities, introduces students to the principles of research, provides access to data sets, and creates pathways for inclusion of science in students’ lives outside of courses (NASEM 2018)
Included articles explore the ways both online and field-based citizen science can be integrated into higher education
Summary
Considerable anecdotal evidence exists to show widespread usage of citizen science in higher education settings, but the published literature on its use is limited (VanceChalcraft et al in press). We hope this collection spurs an increase in dialogue and in idea exchanges among stakeholders (project developers, project evaluators, data end-users, course instructors, students, and the broader higher education community).
