Knowledgebase

This page is a child of the Main Impvis Wiki Page. This is the ImpVis knowledge base; it contains all of the information ImpVis has accumulated as a community in order to design and develop effective interactive visualisations for education.

The structure of this page follows the steps of our design and development process closely.

Visualisation design guidance

To create an interactive visualisation for education, you will need to consider the design of your visualisation carefully from several angles. The ImpVis template implements some of our ideas so that you do not need to design your visualisation entirely from scratch. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the template so you understand how it can support your visualisation design:

Try out the ImpVis template: layout and components.

Below we split up our tips and ideas into three different categories: education, graphic, and interaction design. Note that we have only just started collating our experience in this section, so not all parts are populated yet - we aim to incorporate all knowledge generated by the ImpVis module students in this Wiki going forward.
