Our system will provide solutions to the problems presented in the previous section. Browse and search functions provide ways to change the direction of a search at any time. Since both functions work seamlessly, users can choose their search method according to a condition such as the number of images to be searched, users' domain knowledge and characteristics of metadata assigned to images. The new interface allows users to retrieve previously saved image collections by the name assigned by the users. Students Images selected by faculty are available on the web.
Students can review images for assignments, exams and other tasks via the Web.
The personalization feature offers a flexible environment for students. Webmasters HTML codes are dynamically generated based on the images faculty have selected by themselves. We would like to design the system based on extensive user studies through interviews, observations and possibly surveys with three groups people on campus, faculty members, students and webmasters who are all involved with courses in which images play an important role. At each stage of prototyping, we plan to conduct a series of evaluations of the interfaces. The design of the interfaces is expected to evolve through several iteration of design and evaluation.
