SUMMARY:
Participants at this breakout session will discuss issues related to creating and maintaining a multimedia database (including images, video, and sound) for health sciences education. Issues to be discussed will include: copyright and ownership of multimedia items; quality assurance mechanisms and possibilities for peer review systems; and standards for metadata creation. Other discussion topics will include suggestions for overcoming barriers to successfully create a multimedia database: what incentives will motivate faculty to contribute multimedia, and what strategies can be employed to integrate multimedia with other learning and teaching materials?
