INTRODUCING MDID2!

Installing the Imageviewer on Your Computer

All your lectures from past semesters will be available to you to teach with or modify for further use.

MDID2 offers several great new features such as the ability to add personal images (including Powerpoint images) to a slideshow, the option of sharing your personal images with other faculty users and the option of packaging slideshows for use at conferences.

Here is a description from the MDID Wiki: "The Madison Digital Image Database is an online image database and multimedia instructional system designed to create and show Internet-based lectures using digitized images.

The system permits instructors to remotely generate "slideshows", which can be annotated, placed online for student study, or archived for testing or future use.

Though many image databases provide flexible faculty and student access to online images, those systems generally do not provide a tool through which faculty can teach and students can learn. MDID brings the digital image and data library into the teaching and learning process, in and outside the classroom. "

REQUESTING NEW IMAGES
Copy photography and digital image requests must be made three weeks in advance of anticipated use.
Please check with the slide librarian to avoid duplication of materials when having new slides made.
All work will become part of the College collection.
If you are creating a new course and will require large numbers of new slides (more than one roll of film, 36 frames),
please check with the slide curator the prior term.

Slides are circulated to Centre faculty for classroom use. For your convenience, slides can be delivered to
your office or picked up for return. Please call ahead or e-mail for this service. Please return slides promptly.
