[Insightl] Insight course support

[John Taormina]

Robbie,

I've been adding the course number into a searchable field along with 
a  phrase-modernarchitecture, contemporaryart-in the subject field 
that also defines the course content. That way, the instructor can 
search for all their course-specific images and place them in one 
folder.

>At Columbia we need to support a core curriculum course, Art
>Humanities. This course has a carefully controlled syllabus,
>contains a stable number of images (approximately 1700), and is
>taken by approximately 1200 undergraduates per academic year.
>
>As it is in the pedagogical interests of the course to segregrate
>these images in Insight, we were wondering how best to handle this
>situation: create a new "Art Humanities" collection, create a single
>group for the entire course, or create a series of groups for each
>section of the syllabus?
>
>How have experienced Insight users handled similiar situations?
>Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

>Thanks,
