 Slideshow still needs work |
| Pros: high quality illustrative materials - excellent for teaching |
| Cons: procedure for saving slides not clear -- need to learn by experiment -- page should lead user easily to accomplish task 'naturally' |
| Other thoughts: very inconvenient to access citations for slides -- would include them on sides (if not already there) -- should encourage accessing text when using slides |

| New Drag and Drop Images |
| Pros: Very good. The trick is to drag the center top grid of the figure. Works well in macs and PCs. |
| Cons: Lack of ample instructions, thanks to the smart collegue that discovered the trick to drag the appropriate area of the figure. |

| Drag and drop images |
| Pros: The idea is excellent, and the outcome would be very helpful. |
| Cons: I could drag chosen images to the slide section, but not persuade them to stick there |
| Other thoughts: Could an Idiot's Guide tutorial be provided? I'm sure there is a very simple answer to my "Con", but I haven't yet found it. |

| Very good idea! |
| Pros: Easy to handle and really time saving - once you know how to do it. |
| Cons: A bit slow, indeed. A feedback window like "searching..." would be helpful. It also took me a while to find out HOW to drag and drop the images. |
| Other thoughts: I managed to create PowerPoint files with most of the images I tried, but with some it just wouldn't work - don't know why. |

| Slow, not useful knowledge base |
| Pros: A good idea. ver very slow and no responses. Keep working at it. |
| Cons: I tried to input several disease entities: lymphoma, spinal cord injuries, Legg Calve Perthes disease and no response. |
