Definition

The idea is to use a graphical representation to represent an information space, e.g. a complex concept, a WebSite or parts of the Web as a whole, user activities ....


DSchneider doesn't know if we should split this up like for example the Wikipedia:Visualization article (and add multimedia animations which are not necessarily the same as what they call Wikipedia: Knowledge visualization).


Visualization in education

Here is some brainstorming for different areas:

  • As navigation aid in complex information spaces (a good example is the Special:WikiViz visualization of this wiki]]
  • To demonstrate principles and concepts with some kind of cognitive map
  • To display social webs and show what people do
  • To display complex (subject) data, i.e. students use a real tool

Learners, can either use or build visualizations (or both of course).
