ThumbnailDescription
The goal of our summer 2022 FMN was to develop a client-side interactive dashboard that allowed students to visualize and analyze data from the Snapshot Serengeti camera-trap research project. We developed two alternative versions of the dashboard, one using JavaScript and another using the Quarto publishing system. Both versions are client-side, fully functional, compatible across multiple browsers, and freely available.
The version of the data dashboard that was replaced was a server-based R-shiny app with limited scalability. The development of these dashboards will allow for easier dissemination of the lab module to students and instructors. A secondary product of this FMN was to develop a guide so that module authors who possess R-skills but limited understanding of the limitations of server-side approaches such as R-shiny can develop online, interactive components with scalability in mind from the outset.
The team created an OCELOTS GitHub organization (https://github.com/ocelots-rcn), and repositories for these open-access software interactives:
