Students are expected to be able to gain access for a significant amount of the session to an IBM PC or one of its many variants.
This subject builds on a student's existing GIS abilities by introducing them to techniques for the presentation of spatial, numerical and table-based data in order to maximise their effectiveness and simplify their interpretation. Students will learn how to design visualisations of information, taking into account the problems of human perception, variations in audience type, and the media or presentation environment selected. They will be taught how to classify spatial and non-spatial, multi-dimensional, discrete and continuous data to elicit the most information from them. Dynamic methods such as animation, interactive atlases, and data exploration tools will also be addressed.The subject has no residential school. Students completing this subject have the ability to use a range of techniques for the presentation of spatial, numerical, and table-based data.
