Watergum PlatypusWatch Online Induction
This course will tell you everything you need to know about the elusive platypus. You can take the course just for fun, but it is also an online enrolment to qualify as a volunteer on Watergum's platypus surveys! If you want to become a PlatypusWatch survey volunteer, please complete each section in the course. Be sure to tick the 'completed' box each time so that you see a blue tick in each section. Then test your knowledge with the quiz at the end. Please take a screenshot of your results and email us at platypus@watergum.org to join the program. Good luck!
