Multimedia tool:
SalsaJ software
Software for image handling designed to be a comprehensive tool for doing a large number of applications. Java software (easily portable on different platforms) derived from a research tool ImageJ developed for medical imagery and biology. The interface has been adapted for a pedagogical use in astronomy. The goal is to produce a users-friendly tool allowing data handling in classrooms (images, spectroscopy, etc.). In the present version, the development (done by the French team) is oriented toward a trans-disciplinary use of astronomical data. On a longer term, a natural extension in the field of biology will be possible.
As for the exercises, this software tool will be freely available through the web for different platforms, together with an adaptation in the different languages of the project.
Tests of the software : procedures for installation, portability linux/windows/mac fonctionalities with the resources clarity/efficiency of the documentation reliability and ergonomics of the man-machine interfaceContribution to : the definition of the level of use (middle – high – expert) the implementation of new fonctionalities
Pedagogical and language adaptation of the exercices and toolsProduction of documents in their languageTest and validation in classrooms
Expected pilot activities :
