Presented by John M. Trendler at the Annual Conference of the Visual Resources Association, April 18th - April 21st, 2012, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Session: Engaging New Technologies While the seemingly exponential array of new technologies offers the potential to enhance the services we provide, simply keeping up with what is available (or on the horizon) is a daunting process. This fast-paced session will demonstrate a rich variety of new technologies, emphasizing concrete examples that show engagement in professional contexts. Utilizing the expertise of energetic, tech-savvy presenters, this session will introduce new tools as well as creative uses of more established technologies, demystifying them to empower session attendees to further investigate on their own. Emphasis will be given to technologies that can be readily utilized in teaching, learning, and research environments. CO-ORGANIZERS: Betha Whitlow, Washington University in St. Louis Meghan Musolff, University of Michigan MODERATOR: Betha Whitlow, Washington University in St. Louis PRESENTERS 1: Carolyn Caizzi, Yale University 2: Meghan Musolff, University of Michigan 3: John Trendler, Scripps College 4: Betha Whitlow, Washington University in Saint Louis For more links: http://www.diigo.com/user/Engagingtech

- Three definitions of Visualization, in this presentation I focus on the second definition
- Here’s a mind-map I created while trying to figure out how to present about visualization.In mind-mapping you begin with a central topic and branch off with other topics,Pen and paper is quick and easy to do, often spontaneous and allows for free thinking and brainstorming
- Here’s a software based mind map about mind-mapping,Software versions allow you to click and drag to rearrange different branches,It’s easy to add or delete topics, and just about everything is customizable (shapes, fonts, colors, etc.)
- For the previous map I used Xmind, which is free.I also played around with Freemind, which is also free,There are plenty of mind-mapping solutions online.
- Visual Thinking is a broad topic, so instead of going into definition, theories, etc. here’s a link to vizthink.com which is “All you need to know about Visual Thinking”
- Excellent example of visual thinking by Austin Kleon. Austin was kind enough to give me permission to use this image in my presentation & he’s quite the interesting “writer who draws” http://www.austinkleon.com/
- An example of visual thinking – planning a data migration project
- An example of visual thinking – planning a data migration projec, cleaned up a bit in pen and ink
- A drawing I made when trying to figure out how to reconfigure all the computers and peripherals after having my office moved across campus.I made several sketches and drawings, primarily concerned with data-flow between machines.
- A cleaned up version of the previous drawing, done with Adobe Illustrator.Using computer graphics can speed the process of creating images/diagrams up because you can copy & paste elements,In this case the computers/keyboards and folders…
- The Noun Project has high quality icons and graphics for free, so why waste your time drawing computer/keyboards and folders?
- One of my favorites.
- A Periodic Table of Visualization Methodshttp://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html#
- On the website, when you hover over an element it brings up an example
- You only really need the four basic flowchartelements to create useful workflows,However there are many more flow-chart elements http://www.edrawsoft.com/Flowchart-Definition.php
- A flowchart I made for digital imaging assistants
- I made the previous flowchart using gliffy.com – which is free and onlineEasy to learn, it has various libraries to choose from, including floor plans, site maps, network diagrams, etc.
- Google Analytics & Dailymile – both give you data vs. time
- You can often export analytic data and import it into Excel to create a basic chart.I never used to like the basic charts in Excel, until I began learning how to customize them.Dig into the formatting palette to redesign their standard charts
- I love GraphJam – had to throw something in to break up the Excel stuffhttp://graphjam.memebase.com/
- Back to those charts in Excel… they can be easily inserted into PowerPoints, Word Docs, etc. and even edited further, if so desired
- But don’t edit too much…
- No need for all the extra drop-shadows, background, etc.It’s considered Chart Junk when additions subtract from the data legibility, waste ink or are justsuperfluous
- Sea monsters have been considered chart junk, but I like them.
- A nice Venn Diagram from InformationIsBeautiful.netWhat Makes Good Information Design?InterestingnessFunctionFormIntegrity which brings me to…
- Integrity is crucial when creating visualizaitons, charts, graphs, etc.
- Thanks to Luna Imaging for sponsoring the session & Betha Whitlow & Meghan Musolff for organizing the session.For more links from the session http://www.diigo.com/user/Engagingtech
