Educational use of OMERO

[saloynton]

The following documents the first meeting with a lecturer in the histology and neuroanatomy department in Dundee and his request to use OMERO for teaching purposes.
Please see [UserFeedback/EducationalUseOfOMERO] for some additional background.

The initial starting points for the requirements:

• The starting amount of students who would be using the system would be 50-60 approximately. (This would not be all at once)
  • The amount of students that could go on to the use the system could go up to approximately 300 students. This would cover the departments of dental, medics and forensic anthropology.

• There would be about 75 .svs images required for the entire year to be stored. This could be further refined by making sets of images available each term.
  • This now would be set at around 200 images.

• The students would have to be restricted to read only access to the image.
  • To begin a single account is to be used for the initial set of students.

• There is a requirement for the lecturer to be able to set questions about the images.

• They would like to provide the students with the ability to view his annotations on an image and ultimately to allow the students to draw basic ROI's on the images. From the discussion this does not require any actual analysis but only the ability to view the shapes on the image.
  • The first stage of this has been set to allow the ROI's on big images and make them readable

I am awaiting conformation for a second meeting that shall allow us to confirm the hard requirements and explore any minor changes they may require. This meeting has since been influenced by external factors and been subsequently delayed.

The relevant outcomes for the second meeting have been added to the set of requirements.
