Abstract
Multimedia Repository System (MRS) is a web-based application, developed using Instructional Management Systems (IMS) standard. MRS provides interface for uploading objects to a central server, enabling users to catalog and organize their multimedia teaming resources Cataloging fields include image, keywords, clinical and technical information. MRS was developed from scratch using the prototyping system development methodology. Its implementation was carried out using open source technologies that include Apache Web Server, PHP scripting and My SQL database management system. MRS is accessible through the Internet via URL: http://www.mrs.kk.usm.my. Users' acceptance test results show thatthe system is easy to use (Mean=18.09; SD=1. 70; min=15; max=21) and useful for sharing health and medical knowledge (Mean=11.86; SD=1.65; min=?; max=14). Contributors can share their collections with students and colleagues who can browse the collections, through proper authentication, in a variety of ways. The objects can also be downloaded to user storage media. A description, tutorial notes, clinical information and a copyright statement accompany the multimedia item. MRS can be used by Health Sciences and Medical lecturers to share their knowledge objects with students and colleagues as well as integrate it with Learning Management System (LMS) as online resources for teaching and teaming purposes.
