Digital Images for Teaching and Learning
The LUNA software program allows users to manage, access, use, and present digital images. Kywords and cataloging data accompanies every image, allowing for in-depth searches of the collections. Using LUNA, multiple images from different artists, places or periods, can be viewed side-by-side. Or, the user can create their own collections of images by saving groups of images online. LUNA supports the following media types: images, audio, video, QTVR, and files (pdf, doc, txt, xml).
