As an instructor with students using iNaturalist I wanted a way to pull up my students’ observations without having to create a project. The following search URL lets me follow my students whether or not they have remembered to provide a location for their observation, or a photo for that matter.
I can use this basic template to follow a specific section of students or potentially multiple sections. I expect I may run into limitations on the length of the URL as well as limitations on the number of observations that can be returned. I think instructors such as myself who sign up for iNaturalist tend to think that the first thing we need to do is to set up a project for our class. A search URL such as the one above is a potential alternative to setting up a project for a class.
