"HEAL is a digital repository that allows medical educators to discover, download, and re-use over 22,000 medical education resources. Through generous funding by IAMSE, HEAL is becoming a dynamic, user-centered digital environment to allow medical educators to share and discuss teaching resources and methods. This is being accomplished through the incorporation of key characteristics of Web 2.0 technologies into HEAL including user reviews of resources and user tagging (searchable keywords) of resources.

This cookbook gives instructions when seem straightforward. I plan to use this in the spring 2010 semester as an activity in N6101 Nursing Theory. Activity will be to do a digital story that focuses on a concept, similiar to a concept analysis, however, as a digital media product that captures the essence of a concept or phenomena found in nursing.

"The goal of providing the handheld device, the school said in a statement, was to improve the learning experience and give students flexible access to health care--related content. The combination media player-camera-video recorder-personal digital assistant with WiFi capabilities was loaded with mobile applications students will need in the classroom as well as an app to help them prepare for the nursing board examination."

This is very helpful as I am wondering how large the files might be with the digital storytelling assignment I have for the nursing theory class, and the idea of being able to up load 5MB through filedropper might be my answer.

I agree! My favorite for files under 100mb is http://Drop.io . It's fast, flexible, feature-rich, and FREE!

Great resource for story telling.

Thanks Newman, this is great. Something to keep in mind for students and faculty wanting to publish to iTunes University as well. I have seen several podcasts with blacked out scenes because there wasn't permission to show the content or images that was being presented.
