The Phase 1 Workflow...Leading to Phase 2 and Onward
A Workflow
...through the Present: The following consists of a workflow of the accomplished work, with some residual work that still needs to be done especially on Steps 5 and 6. However, it's not too soon to consider what next phases of this project would entail. This workflow has been offered to give participants a sense of the work that has occurred so far.

The Project's (Instructional Design) Backstory
This audio snippet addresses the instructional design experience behind the creation of this initial Digital Entomology Lab. Some real-world challenges of the lack-of-funding and misunderstandings of the needs of a project are addressed here. Another point made is that the human imagination has to be engaged in part before new work may be actualized, especially given the time and effort investment needed. This is offered in the spirit of transparency for participatory designers and of inclusiveness.
