pick up a WebMail handout.
- Call the Computer Help Desk (962-4357)
The database is a closed system which
may be accessed only through an established faculty account, or
by students in a given class who have been given the “student

your instructor from a drop-down list labeled “Slideshow
Author,” and do the same thing for the “Folder,”
if the instructor has organized by course. If not, “Main”
or “MDID1 Slideshows” should give you a complete list
of the instructors shows.

| About the Digital
Image Database |
The James Madison
University Digital Image Database (JMUDID) was developed at James
Madison University and purchased with UNCW Technology Grant in 2000.
This new technology has made it possible for any faculty to forsake
slides for digital images projected from the database via video projector
to any classroom on campus.
Since that time all art historians in the department of art and theatre
have been using the database to teach.Other faculty across campus
in the departments of history, foreign languages, creative writing,
and philosophy and religion have used the database in classroom settings.
The DID has campus-wide implications for classroom teaching
and student study and review purposes across many curricula, and
is slowly gaining support from other disciplines. The database makes
selection and organization of images for lectures much easier than
pulling and organizing slides from a slide collection. It has also
made it much easier to access and arrange images to be shown for
examinations and quizzes.
