*by answering some short multiple choice questions | |||
* by geolocating pictures on a map. To perform this task, volunteers are asked to draw a polygon around the area they want to select. Various tools have been designed to help the volunteers with this hard task, such as a satellite and an aerial map, as well as zoom in and out options. | |||
When they first start a project, volunteers are presented with a short tour that has been built into the project template to explain what each section is and what the volunteer is expected to do. The tour also points out helpful tools, like the zoom function on the photo and the link to the photo source. The tour is only shown to the volunteer on their first time accessing a project because the interface for the different projects is standardized, therefore once they learn one they can use them all. | When they first start a project, volunteers are presented with a short tour that has been built into the project template to explain what each section is and what the volunteer is expected to do.
