Description
World of Images is a media-sharing site that addresses the immense need to use copyright-free photographs, illustrations, and videos for educational and non-commercial uses as well as for the production of quality educational materials.
The goals of this unique media collection are as follows:
- offer a free space for managing and preserving photographs, illustrations, and videos of all kinds (artistic, documentary, educational, scientific, etc.)
- collect a significant portion of the media produced as part of all college activities (demonstrations, conferences, research, work, artistic productions, international internships, best practices, etc.)
- develop thematic albums to better understand the dimensions addressed in the works
- encourage discussion between users by allowing them to vote for a media item, share it on social sites, and comment on it
The site also provides information about the World of Images Intercollegiate photo contest.
