Summary
A student in an Asian architecture class wants to find images to illustrate a presentation on "Temple Roofs in Sub-tropical Climates". The student selects the Dome, Museum of Fine Arts, and Black Ships and Samurai repositories, enters "temple" and "roof" in "keyword" box, and clicks "Search". Results are returned to "Results" panel. The student drags the images that best illustrate his topic onto the mapMary and Joe are enrolled in "Early 20th Century Popular Literature". They are working together on an assignment about the effect of comics on social policy. They decide to use Metamedia to create their assignment since class instructor has provided "resources" containing comics of this period. Mary creates a "collection" and gives Joe access to it. (No other member of the class can access the collection until Mary opens it to them.) Mary and Joe independently search the available resources to find comics that support their topic. For each image, they add comments. Mary makes their collection accessible to the class and other students respond to Mary's and Joe's comments with discussion of their own.
