I got one of my former professors interested in iNat and he’s since used it for a class project 2 years in a row. For some reason he sets the filters to include Casual and RG but exclude Needs ID… I tried emailing him to explain it but I never heard back haha.
All of the professors I’ve had who do use iNat (some of my favourite profs!) don’t use it very well. It’s surprising how difficult it is to notice, navigate, or explain the intricacies of iNat even for a professor, like: how to add multiple photos to an observation, how to make sure all the metadata is there so half your observations don’t end up casual, etc.
