How do you use iNaturalist data with students?

I’m working with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC) community science team to teach iNaturalist users how to do basic analysis of iNaturalist data using R programming language. NHMLAC has been running City Nature Challenge (CNC) using iNaturalist for 10 years, so we thought this would be a good opportunity to teach iNaturalist users how to make charts and maps with the CNC data.

Maybe off topic but I use iNat in my course about « médiation culturelle numérique » and in « littératie numérique pour la recherche » (both in Qc, CA) :)
I show my digital humanities students how an API could be use, and it help us get outside our usual littérature/history field (haha) and for y tourism/mediation students it’s a good way to implement an electronic aspect, or to have a new tool to sensibilise the public to the wildlife around them.
