- Educational multimedia applications present a variety of data visualization challenges that are not always addressed by standard formats and approaches. The types of data involved may be very specific to a topic or discipline, and the context in which they are to be displayed may not be a simple transfer of information. Study aids, assessment tools and constructivist learning activities are among the applications that use data visualization for learning, and each requires a different mode of presentation. In this talk, Mr. Mattingly will demonstrate some of the projects that the UMass CESD has produced, including interactive simulations, time and map-based displays, and construction activities, and will discuss the processes of their design and development.
He will also introduce some new directions and tools, including online collaboration combined with mobile devices and locative media.
