Hands-on Learners Unite

November 13, 2014 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Hands-on Learners Unite

Some people learn better when they are hands-on with a project. If that is the case for you, then this interesting and humorous exercise from The Biology Corner just might interest you. Projected into year 2525, it takes you through the projected and hypothetical plants and organisms that could exist after 500 years of evolution. The Taxonomy Project asks you to classify these organisms. This just might be an attempt to teach the principles of biological taxonomy from a different perspective. Or it might just be a diversion exercise. Either way, it is interesting.

Developing a taxonomy or classification system organized into conceptually similar categories can help users gain a better understanding of the taxonomy subject area. How the content is classified impacts the findability of your data. If you are looking for a assistance, you should look for an experienced builder of solid standards-based taxonomies to associate content for appropriate machine-assisted indexing. Access Innovations can provide solutions that are ANSI compliant.
