Using Stellar to Search MIT Image Repositories
Ben Brophy , Product Manager, Stellar Course Management System

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Stellar Images is a new tool being developed by the Stellar team that lets 
instructors search for images to use in the classroom. Initially the 
Stellar community will have access to images from the Rotch Visual 
Collection and the Visualizing Cultures Image Database. In this session, 
Ben will demonstrate the tool and gather feedback on how to improve it. 
Current plans for the tool are to add additional sources for images, as 
well as functionality for creating slideshows.
