Visual Syllabus
I decided to stoke the flames of my fiery love affair with visual data graphics by creating a visual syllabus this year. I'm hoping this helps spice up the intense boredom of the standard syllabus/rules/expectations review that has become the traditional first day routine.
Are we becoming too visual?
I recently overheard a colleague complain that we are becoming too visual as a society and that students can no longer comprehend complex ideas, let alone write about them. I couldn't help but think about that as I watched The History of the World in 100 Seconds According to Wikipedia. According the the 2010 Horizon Report (http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2010/chapters/visual-data-analysis/), visual data analysis is one of the key trends to watch as "the options for illustrating trends, relationships, and cause and effect have exploded, and it is now a relatively simple matter for anyone to do the sorts of analyses that were once only the province of statisticians and engineers."
What complex ideas are made accessible to students in this short video and how well would the written word convey them?
