Managing Multimedia Assets in Health Science Education

描述（由申请人提供）： 本计画的总体目标是开发一个多媒体资产管理系统，供卫生科学教育机构使用。该系统的功能是促进在卫生科学教育机构内共享多媒体教学材料，并促进在课程中使用这些材料。 该项目建立在健康教育资产图书馆（HEAL）的工作基础上，这是一个国家健康教育教学资源库，旨在创建一个用户友好和便携式的机构系统，这将大大改善健康科学教师获得健康科学教育材料的机会。 拟议的多媒体资产管理系统将允许教师建立，管理和分发 个人收藏效率高。该系统将与HEAL进行互操作，并将提供简单的工具，帮助用户向HEAL储存库提供多媒体，从而有助于在全国范围内共享教学资源。 拟议的系统将是便携式和可升级的，完全基于非专有技术，以方便其他机构实施。完成的应用程序将与技术文档和最终用户培训材料一起打包，作为开放源代码应用程序分发。 功能要求将基于三个机构的需求评估：加州大学洛杉矶分校，加州大学旧金山分校和德鲁大学。将遵循可用性测试和分阶段开发的迭代过程。将根据功能要求对该系统的最后执行情况进行评价。将在实施后的一年内进行成果分析，包括其他机构采用该系统的情况。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this project is to develop a multimedia assets management system for use by health science educational institutions. The function of the system is to foster sharing of multimedia teaching materials within health science educational institutions and to facilitate use of these materials in the curricula. The project builds on the work of the Health Education Assets Library (HEAL), a national repository of health education teaching resources, to create a user-friendly and portable institutional system that will greatly improve access to health sciences educational materials for health sciences faculty. The proposed multimedia assets management system will allow faculty to build, manage, and distribute personal collections efficiently. The system will interoperate with HEAL and will have easy tools that will help users to contribute multimedia to the HEAL repository, thereby contributing to sharing of teaching resources nationwide. The proposed system will be portable and scalable, based solely on non-proprietary technologies to facilitate its implementation by other institutions. The completed application will be packaged with technical documentation and end-user training materials for distribution as an Open Source application. The functional requirements will be based on a needs assessment at three institutions: UCLA, UCSF and Drew University. An iterative process of usability testing and staged development will be followed. Evaluation of the final implementation of the system will be based on the functional requirements. Outcome analysis, including the adoption of the system at other institutions, will be conducted during the year following implementation.
