Subject: [Image-tools] Stellar Images presentation next week
Message-ID: <9e393eb4edd21469b195dc9b67f542e3@mit.edu>


Hello,

I wanted to let you know I'll be doing a demo of our initial release of 
Stellar Images. As I mentioned a while back, this initial release can 
gather images from a couple of repositories and save them to a class 
website. We'll be adding more functionality over the next several 
months, building up to Fall 2006 when the tool will allow you to create 
slideshow presentations.

More details on the tool and how to be part of the pilot at the 
presentation next week.

Best wishes,
Ben

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.
