The iCampus Cross Media Annotation System (XMAS) provides tools to enhance the use of video and image collections in humanities courses and in any subject in which precise reference to visual materials is needed. XMAS can be used in conjunction with image and text collections, and is currently optimized for use with commercially available DVDs as video source. XMAS allows users to rapidly define segments of film which can be replayed by clicking on automatically created links that can be saved in a list or dragged and dropped into discussion threads or online essays.
