The project had the following goals (Introduction, p. 6):

1. investigate public understanding of the concepts surrounding dolphin
intelligence;
2. explore how people form an understanding of the scientific research
surrounding
animal cognition;
3. survey appropriate methods, technologies, and software to address the
effective delivery of this content to diverse public audiences;
4. understand how learning occurs in a free-choice exhibit setting.
