The education sector has an ever-increasing need to provide

Many high quality resources exist in other industries and
it is imperative that education makes good use of them.

for the medical industry. Designed as an educational
tool to assist medical professionals explain graphically
and simply medical conditions and treatments to patients,
these images have revolutionised the doctors ability to
be able to communicate to their patients. This workshop will
demonstrate the images and their potential for multiple
educational
adaptations. While the images speak loudly for themselves,
Greg will also outline the issues and conundrums of licensing
these resources for education, using recent case study
examples. There will also be opportunity for audience participation/
suggestions for future educational applications.
