Image Annotation Tool

Partner(s): Letty Moss-Salentijn College of Dental Medicine Access: Columbia only Released: January 2005 VIEW PROJECT

The Image Annotation Tool (IAT) is web-based application designed for students and faculty to upload, organize, categorize, present and annotate digital images. The IAT provides students with a workspace equipped with tools to study images. Students also can annotate and organize images into meaningful categories to support their individual study of the course content. For faculty, the IAT enables the creation of slideshows and the ability to review student annotations on course images. The IAT was developed for Dental School Dean Letty Moss-Salentijn's histology course, but can be utilized in other disciplines. For example, any activity requiring the labeling of maps, illustrating art images, or highlighting elements of a graphic can easily be accomplished with the tool.
