[ome-devel] Scottish Dental Education Online (SDEO) and Educational Virtual Microscopy

[Jason Swedlow (Staff)]

Hi Doug-

Thanks for this- a very interesting development.  A few comments:

1.  Re: the various functions and uses you describe, all of this should possible with OMERO and Bio-Formats.  Any questions, please use these lists of the OME Forums.

2. It is obviously important to imagine the various user scenarios for your work.  From your brief description, all of these functions should be available in OMERO now, but we continue to develop its capabilities, in part to better serve these types of scenarios.

Note that there will be workshops at the upcoming OME Users Meeting on publishing data with OMERO and integrating OMERO's client tools into other applications.  We hope there will be a lot of discussion about what's available and what more we need to do in those workshops.

Thanks again- look forward to seeing SDEO come together.

Cheers,

Jason

Subject: [ome-devel] Scottish Dental Education Online (SDEO) and Educational Virtual Microscopy

Hi OME team,

The following is a rough plan based on our meeting before Christmas (Ola, Gus, Jason, Carlos and me) about virtual microscopy for education for Scottish universities.

Our ultimate aim is to make educational virtual microscopy (EVM) available for teaching and learning across all Scottish universities. As this would be a rather large undertaking, I suggest for the time being to focus on integrating EVM into SDEO (Scottish Dental Education Online) e-learning resources and move on from there once established.

As I understand it, the steps we need to achieve this would be as follows;

1.      Upload some slides (files) to the server space earmarked for SDEO. Assuming I'm correct about that space being available.

2.      Import the existing annotations / ROIs for these slides. I'm guessing this will be on OME systems too, at least for the time being.

3.      OME will supply some Javascript that will allow me to embed EVM into a webpage and display the content from stages 1 and 2. I will see if I can integrate this into our e-learning to create the activities we need. This should satisfy user story C, below.

4.      Create account request page (similar solution like Dundee Demo server) for lecturers registered with SDEO. This still needs some finely grained definition I think, but would be a start on user story B.
Once we've done this it would probably be a good idea to discuss what we've got and how we move forward etc.

I see there being a few user stories / use cases;

A.     A lecturer (from any given institution) can present slides during their lecture.

B.     A lecturer (from any given institution) can annotate slides with their own ROIs.

C.     A student can use EVM in directed study (e-learning).

D.     A student can use EVM in directed study (lecture materials).

E.      A student can use EVM in undirected study, browsing the catalogue.
Please add / comment / suggest alterations.

Regards
Doug
