Spatial information software (ArcGIS) is used in this subject. Software is supplied.
This subject builds on students' existing GIS abilities by introducing them to techniques for the mapping 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 including when working with and mapping Indigenous Australian data and knowledges. They will learn how to classify spatial and non-spatial, multi-dimensional, discrete and continuous data to elicit the most information. Dynamic methods such as animation, interactive atlases and data exploration tools will also be addressed.
