Explore the Visitor Center

The Visitor Center contains information about the islands and the islanders. A good place to start is by looking through the “Guides Tab” in this page. I’ve linked some videos below that will help you get started:

• Island Overview
• Working with the Islanders
• Finding Groups on the Islands
• Time on the Islands

Explore the Academy

Questions to guide exploration:

• What studies are interesting?
  
• Is the response variable quantitative or categorical?
  
• How many explanatory variables exist, and what types are they?
  
• How many observational units were collected?

Islanders Tips

• Multiple islanders can complete tasks simultaneously, but each islander can only complete one task at a time.
