The Generic Image Identification Lab Application originated from the CLOE Learning Object Project and ultimately from an earlier project of 1999.  The aim of this project was to create a Web-based template that would provide course instructors with a template for creating interactive, self-assessment exercises in which students would apply their knowledge to identify images based on differentiating characteristics.  The original lab simulation was a standalone program distributed on CD ROM and was completed in 1999.

The project was revisited with the idea of creating a Web-based learning object that would function in the same way as the first version but would be configurable for any set of images.  Terry Collins, Assistant Application Developer at CFL, set out to create the new application in Flash MX.

Terry has coded the self-assessment component so that it can be configured to accept other images without reprogramming.  This approach will allow us to reuse it in new learning objects and thus the name Generic Image Identification Lab Application.
