Topic overview

In this assessment you will critically evaluate the use of visualisation techniques in existing case studies. You are required to research and identify one (1) effective and one (1) non-effective use of visualisation in a case study. You must then critically evaluate the case studies and create an oral presentation and record a video to explain your justifications in support for or against the use of visualisation for the case studies you identify.

Assessment criteria

This assessment will measure your ability to:

• Critically analyse two case studies demonstrating your knowledge of visualisation techniques (80%)
• Clearly present your ideas in a way that is well structured and organised (10%)
• Confidently deliver a polished, engaging oral presentation (10%)

Guidelines

• Research and identify two case studies: one that uses visualisation effectively, and one that does not.
• The case studies may come from news articles, blogs, research papers, reports or any other published source.
• In your presentation, you must discuss visualisation techniques used in each example and reflect of elements such as colour, shape, position, annotations and interactivity.
• Your focus should be on analysing why they were effective or non-effective, and this should be supported by arguments based on visualisation principles (frameworks and guidelines) discussed in Weeks 1 and 2.
• You should also include recommendations, suggest improvements and propose an alternative visualisation for the case study that you think uses visualisation non-effectively.
• You should create a presentation of your analysis
