>
> The Focusing Images for Learning and Teaching - an Enriched
> Resource project (FILTER) is developing a database
> containing images and image-based resources for learning
> and teaching across a diverse range of subject areas.
> The purpose of the database will be to provide practical
> examples of effective use of images to support the
> educational process. The database resources will be freely
> available via the Web for all those engaged in learning and
> teaching.
>
> FILTER invites anyone who is a user of images, or has an
> interest in the educational use of images, to participate
> in an image description and categorisation exercise.
>
> The exercise consists of a series of approximately 40
> images which are cycled through one by one. Participants
> are asked to choose an unlimited number of keywords to
> describe the subject content of an image. You may describe
> as many images as you wish at one time, or return on
> subsequent occasions to continue. Once the image
> information has been submitted, you will be able to see all
> the keywords that have been used by previous participants.
> You are also asked to indicate to which "type" you think
> the original image belongs. This might be photograph, map,
> drawing, chart, micrograph, and so on.
>
> For research purposes, we ask you to tell us your status,
> e.g. lecturer or student, and in which subject area of
> teaching/study you are involved. Information collected
> will allow a categorisation of image types to be developed
> using terms that are commonly used and understood by the
> educational community. FILTER can develop an understanding
> of commonalities and differences across subject areas and
> educational levels. Information will feed into the
> development and structuring of resources in the FILTER
> database and in approaches to describing and providing
> access to images and image-based resources.
>
> The exercise can be found at:
> http://www.filter.ac.uk/exercise/
>
> Please pass this email on to anyone you think may be
> interested.
>
> We appreciate your contribution toward FILTER research.
