GLOBE Workshop in person

anabeatrizprieto — 2025-12-03 14:25:24 UTC

If we do a workshop, how do we create the workshop in GLOBE?

Will these changes be in effect only through April (or however long GIO funds last), or are they expected to continue beyond that with NASA staff support?

Field Guide Review

2025-12-03 14:27:30 UTC

Since there are several options of getting trained in a protocol, including reading the field guide, do users self report/ use the "honor system" for this?

2025-12-03 14:28:19 UTC

There was a comment at the beginning that support was only going to be available through April - did I hear that correctly?

2025-12-03 14:28:21 UTC

Will current bios stay up, or will My Pages be totally redesigned?

Data Collection vs protocol etrainings

2025-12-03 14:28:47 UTC

I think this will still be confusing for users. Perhaps add an "info" icon to define each on all pages it is found? and perhaps color code the various training option buttons (field guides, data collection eTraining, protocol eTraining.

2025-12-03 14:30:20 UTC

When will "all users" (citizen science accounts) see the change to allow data entry for all protocols? Does that mean in the app everyone will have the Data Entry button?

North American Office

2025-12-03 14:35:52 UTC

Will we continue to have support from the North American Office out of UNH?

RCO

anabeatrizprieto — 2025-12-03 14:36:25 UTC

Can RCOs continue their functions? The only thing that disappears is the funding, but do they remain active?

Other Funding Opps?

2025-12-03 14:37:42 UTC

Have there been discussions with the STEM Outreach branch of NASA? Is it possible to move GLOBE under this arm of NASA? Seems like a better fit - all things considered? Or another home through another private or federal office? I'm sure there has been, but I think we need to hear the specifics on these efforts? And thanks for ALL you do!

Checkbox for four observer protocols?

usglobeoffice — 2025-12-03 21:58:49 UTC

Does the training check box also apply to the four tools that are on the app?

Can I register my school as a GLOBE school? Can I see the data collected by my school or by my school's students?

2026-01-09 12:02:28 UTC

Are there guidelines to ensure that the instruments used to collect data, for example, on air temperature or relative humidity, are valid or the most accurate? In Peru, we use digital thermometers to measure air temperature and digital hygrometers to measure relative humidity.

2026-01-09 12:07:31 UTC

Is the "Data Entry" section active in the application? It won't let me continue after selecting the protocols to proceed with the registration.
