This article or section is currently under construction

In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

I am trying to visualize the learning(/pedagogy/technology) taxonomies that Graíne Conole et al. came up with using automatic layout mechanisms and various hierarchy schemes.

SFDP layout

A0 size portrait:

Learning taxonomy - take 1 - SFDP layout engine


A0 size landscape:

Learning taxonomy - take 1 - SFDP layout engine

= TwoPi layout

Learning taxonomy - take 1 - SFDP layout engine

In-wiki graphviz generation

I don't think that it is a good idea to use the wiki's graphviz interface to render larger stuff, since it can only show the raw image (no thumbnail) - Daniel K. Schneider 17:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC).
