Re: [WikiEducator] Potential new project. Aquatic insect key
I took the Florida Coastal Naturalist program. The shark presentation included a paper version of identification characteristics. It was really helpful. I'll send images in a separate post. This might be a good test of a generalized interactive identifier. I can image using a visual logic gates system for all kinds of sorting and identifying applications. Cool idea. Hope it isn't to hard to implement, It is definitely on the SAMR progression into something that is better with technology. ..Valerie On Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 10:02:18 PM UTC-4, Declan wrote: an interactive resource for identification! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

Ok. Can you send a descriptive use case to make a more complete idea of the complexity Saludos, -- luismiguel (@lmorillas) 2015-08-09 6:53 GMT+02:00 Gita Mathur gita.mat...@gmail.com: This is great.

The idea is an aquatic invertebrate key...point and click with lots of photographs. All traditional identification keys essentially work the same way...paired questions that walk you through the identification process. But imbedded in this process, and ignored in a paper key, there is some binary logic. Each insect either has or has not got each of several characteristics. I think my first draft will be similar to the traditional, time honored key. ButI think that I can make the process more efficient by building some mug shot pages. The idea will be to have panels of 4 images and have users click on the best match. Most people can tell if they have a snail, an insect, a worm, or an arachnid. My thinking is that 4 pictorial choices could rapidly take a person through the process and reduce some frustration for beginners. Also built into all organism classifications we have nested groups. Several species within each genus; some genera within each family.etc. I wonder if I need to build that into file structure? Or would that be better handled using Wiki categories and sub categories?
