The FILTER project: encouraging the use of digital images for learning, teaching and research

The promotion of pedagogic use of quality digital images through improved metadata is the aim of the JISC‐funded FILTER project. Having funded many content creation projects, the JISC seeks to boost the take‐up of digital images in teaching and learning, in order to enhance the learning experience and improve outcomes. Discovery of appropriate images will be facilitated through a metadata schema developed in the project, and the definition of a range of image types to aid selection.
