Visualisering af viden i virtuelle læringsstrategier (ViViD)

Vi har lige udarbejdet et oplæg til UNI RUC om virtuelle læringsteknologier (ViViD):

I oplægget foreslår vi, at forskningscenter Experience Lab RUC indgår i udviklingen af virtuelle læringsteknologier med et projekt om visualisering af viden i virtuelle læringsteknologier – projekt ViViD.

“AKTUELLE UDFORDRINGER

Viden om komplekse samspil, strukturer, netværk og systemer stiller os i stigende grad over for problemer med dels at forstå disse samspil og dels at formidle forståelsen heraf. Det gælder ikke blot den stigende og massive mængde af tilgængelige data, viden og kommunikation, der blandt andet har taget form af manipulerbare algoritmisk organiserede data, men nok så meget gælder det samspil mellem heterogene data forstået som en kompleksitet af fx visuelle data, sansedata, oplevelse, kommunikation, erfaring og praksisformer.

De øgede muligheder for multi-modal digital og virtuel kommunikation og interaktion rummer nye muligheder for at formidle sådanne komplekse samspil, men det er ikke umiddelbart indlysende, hvordan vi bedst kan udnytte disse teknologier til at skabe rum for læring og eksperimenter med kompleks viden. Det er en aktuel udfordring at finde egnede måder at præsentere en given dataindsamling på eller at illustrere en given historie; effektiv visualisering er svært at opnå, men eksisterende viden om visualisering kan give et afsæt for at skabe nyt.”

Vi har tidligere arbejdet med et projekt om interaktive og “rige” rum for projektorganiserede studier, se her.

Ny digital strategi lover flere penge til forskning

The VisualComplexity website collection of knowledge and visualisation projects.

This website holds an amazing collection of different ways to visualise domains of knowledge. With 141 projects Manuel Lima’s webarchive spans domains such as arts, biology, computer science, knowledge networks, social networks, transport networks and many more truly fascinating examples thus visualising the complexity of visualisation.

I’ll start reading Manuel Lima‘s latest book 😉

Manuel Lima’s authorship on knowledge and visualization

Sounds interesting; Manuel Lima’s latest book about visualization: “The Book of Circles. Earlier” books are “The Book of Trees” and “Visual Complexity”.

“Join Manuel Lima for a fascinating tour through millennia of circular information design in architecture, urban planning, fine art, design, fashion, technology, religion, cartography, biology, astronomy and physics in a visual feast for infographics enthusiasts. From Venn diagrams and early celestial charts to the trefoil biohazard symbol and Target’s corporate logo, Lima provides a history of humanity’s long-lasting obsession with all things circular and a unique taxonomy of the many varieties of circle diagrams.”

Showtime HUMTEK with the Viking Ship Museum, November 3, 2017

So many funny and inspiring ideas were shown when students from Roskilde University (RUC) presented their ideas and prototypes about interaction with installations to communicate knowledge and experience about maritime archeology and the viking age. It all took place in the Viking Ship Museum maritime archeology experimentarium in close collaboration with Troels Andresen, computer scientist and active member of Experience Lab RUC, and Mads Rosendahl, also computer scientist from the People and Technology department at the university.

A group of students highlighted a silhouette of a war ship on the ceiling of the Maritime Archeology Exhibition.

A very dramatic installation was created by a group of students who used many different senses to communicate a sense of the viking age, for instance, sound, light, music, artefacts. Below: the magic sword.

The water has risen steadily since the Stone Ages; much archeological evidence of the Stone Ages is therefore “hidden” below sea level. To gain knowledge about sunken villages the students created a prototype of an installation to show how sea level and topology have changed over the past 20.000 years.
