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.

Introduction

Solid angles are the 3D variant of a normal angle, commonly associated with the field of view of an observer. In physics, this topic is typically taught with a focus on its uses in Gauss’ law. Whilst the actual concept is not complex, the topic is not covered in as much detail as other areas, due to a lack of time and resources. Whilst resources exist online to improve their understanding, the time required to research and find suitable sources would be better spent on more difficult and vital concepts. For this reason, a visualisation has been designed to improve the conceptual understanding of solid angles along with its applications.

Visualisation 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.

Education Strand

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

Graphics Strand

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

Interactivity Strand

  • How is the design intuitive?
  • 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.
