Subject: [Xerte] ANN: Xpert Image Search and Attribution
















Hi,

 

We’ve just finished a piece of work that will make it
easier for you to search for media released under licenses for re-use and to attribute
it correctly. I know some of you on the Xerte for Teachers list were discussing
this very problem recently, so hopefully this is timely!

 

To see it in action:

-         
Visit http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xpert/attribution/

-         
Search for something

-         
When you get the results, click ‘Select’

-         
Then choose ‘Get Image with Attribution’ or
choose the toolkits option

-         
And you’ll get the image back, with license
information included across the bottom of the image and can happily reuse it
knowing the image is suitable for re-use.

 

We’ have also integrated this into Xerte Online Toolkits,
allowing you to search, browse and select media for your Xerte Online Toolkits
projects directly from the Toolkits wizard. A toolkits update will follow in
due course: here’s a demo for the meantime: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/media/imagefinder.swf

 

Please join me in a collective doffing of caps to Pat for
all his work on this latest development.

 

We’re showing it at ALT-C next week and will explain a 
bit more about what we were setting out to do, and the problems and pitfalls we’ve
encountered along the way: the session is on Tuesday 7th September
at 14.50: http://altc2010.alt.ac.uk/talks/14982
