Thomas, Rebecca L.; Fellowes, Mark D. E. – Journal of Biological Education, 2017
It has been suggested that few students graduate with the skills required for many ecological careers, as field-based learning is said to be in decline in academic institutions. Here, we asked if mobile technology could improve field-based learning, using ability to identify birds as the study metric. We divided a class of ninety-one undergraduate…
