This is a template which you can use to help get you started on the wiki submission. It is just intended as a guide and you may modify the structure to suit your project.

Contributors

  • Name and what department each person was in.
  • Student or staff partner?
  • How was each person involved?
  • What rough dates did they contribute?
  • Jonathan Rackham, Department of Materials. Staff partner from October 2021.

Aims & Learning Outcomes

  • Explain the motivation for your visualisation.
  • Introduce the subject of your visualisation.
  • Which module and year is it intended for and which setting (lecture or self study)?
  • List learning outcomes. E.g.: "After using this visualisation, students should be able to explain that..."


This visualisation will be used as a teaching tool in MATE50005 (Materials Characterisation) lectures as well as self-study tools in lab sessions. It will also be useful in the MATE70001 module (MSc Characterisation course).

Note that this visualisation logically leads on to the scanning electron microscopy project.

After using this visualisation, students will be able to:

  • explain the ray diagram of an optical microscope in reflection and transmission.
  • describe the key properties of an optical system and identify the relevant contributing components.
  • explain astigmatism and its relevance in optical systems.

Design Overview

  • What the final outcome was, how it looks, how it functions etc.
  • Include graphics.
  • Do not include justification or design progression, leave this for later sections.

Design Justification

Assessment Criteria

  • List your cohort's assessment criteria. You may want to number the assessment criteria so you can refer to them easily later.

Education Design

  • What Methods were considered to convey concepts?
  • Design progression, key choices with justifications.
  • How has feedback been incorporated.

Graphical Design

  • How were accessibility issues considered?
  • How was space used effectively?
  • Design progression, key choices with justifications.
  • How has feedback been incorporated.
  • How is the design intuitive?

Interaction Design

  • Choice of interactive element(s) that fit in organically with the visualisation [inspiration of choice might be from lecture/in-class activity or other sources] - Sliders/Buttons/Cursor (hover/click).
  • Keeping accessibility of interactive elements in mind during design phase.
  • Design progression, key choices with justifications.
  • How has feedback been incorporated.

Progress and Future Work

  • Is the design finalised?
  • Which pages have been uploaded to website?
  • Any ideas for future improvements.

Links

  • Link to GitHub repository for code in development:
  • Link to visualisation on ImpVis website (when uploaded):
  • Link to Collection on ImpVis website (when created):
  • Any other links to resources (Miro boards / notes pages / Google Docs etc):
