Abstract
The EU-funded project KeyToNature is developing and
optimising interactive tools for identifying organisms, making them suitable
for being usable in the field of formal education across Europe. To define the
requirements of the target audience, research was conducted in 11 partner
countries during an initial project phase. Teachers and lecturers from primary
schools to university level were asked to express their views about selected
existing identification tools in a qualitative survey. The target audience was
asked about perception, strengths and optimisation options, output channels
and pedagogical application fields. The results showed that the adaption
of the tools to the range of local organisms and the native language of the
audience represents a fundamental step.
