*Interactive introductory distance sampling training*
The University of St Andrews has been training people in design and
analysis of distance sampling studies for decades. Perhaps you've wanted
to attend but could not get permission for travel to Scotland? With social
distancing in place, we are offering our training workshops over the
internet. 🎙️
We are offering the training workshop in 10 two-hour blocks in early
July. You will be invited to interact in short lectures on distance
sampling principles. 👩🎓 Exercises analysing data sets in R will
reinforce those principles and the lecturer will be available to assist
during the practical session via screen sharing. The block will conclude
with a summary of the exercise and question/answer session for both lecture
and exercise. 💻 You can participate in polls during the workshop to
assess your comprehension of topics discussed. 🤔
The workshop will be delivered using Zoom web conferencing software along
with R-Studio "in the cloud".☁️ You will need (free) accounts for both
pieces of software. I encourage you to experiment with Zoom (at
https://zoom.us) and https://rstudio.cloud before the course begins.
👩💻 There will be a training session prior to the first meeting on 06
July.
*Companion online training workshops*
We are planning an additional advanced distance sampling workshops later
this summer. This workshop (mark-recapture distance sampling delivery in
late August) will require knowledge of basic distance sampling principles
derived from this introductory training workshop.

*What they are saying*
I would like to say I really liked RStudio Cloud and it is working just
fine and I am really enjoying using it as a student. I'm looking forward to
using it as an instructor too. I really liked the first half of the course.
I love distance sampling and I am enjoying every second of the course! The
only thing I can say about this particular workshop is it deserves more
time. -- *Kaan Özgencil, PhD student, Department of Biological Sciences,
