[Image-tools] Hands-on event to learn VUE - 1/25/07 from 10AM to noon

[Peter Wilkins]

You are invited to attend an event presented at MIT to learn to use  
VUE hands-on.  The event is part of MIT's Independent Activities  
Period (IAP) where events of various sorts are held for members of  
the MIT community and their friends.  (That's you.)  The event is  
scheduled for this Friday, January 25, from 10 AM to noon.  It will  
be held on the MIT campus in a computer cluster in building 37.  (A  
map link is provided below.)

VUE (the Visual Understanding Environment) is a Mellon Foundation  
funded project to create a content mapping tool.  This second version  
of VUE can deliver its content maps as full-screen presentations,  
richer and more flexible access to remote image repositories,  
semantic tools (RDF support), and LMS integration.

VUE is open-source and runs on Java supported platforms.  You can  
download it here: http://vue.tufts.edu/  (get the VUE 2.0 Beta).

This is a link to the IAP site posting, the text of which is

Using VUE to Map and Visualize Content from MIT's Image Repositories
Melanie St.James (Ed.M.) member of the VUE's development team at  
Tufts University
Fri Jan 25, 10am-12:00pm, 37-312

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

During this hands-on session, you will learn how to use VUE to create  
"concept/content maps" that can help you visualize content and  
relationships by tapping into MIT's image repositories such as the  
Rotch Visual Collection, OCW and Visualizing Culture's Black Ships  
and Samurai Collections.

The VUE tool was created with teaching, learning and research in  
mind. Come explore how this free, open-source software can help you  
find new ways to access and visualize digital content.

Melanie St.James (Ed.M.) is a member of the VUE's development team at  
Tufts University and consults with faculty, students and staff on  
integrating educational technologies in their work.
