This visualisation draws attention to the views of teacher educators on ITE reviews by the Department of Education. This distillation of visual and textual data from our collaborative research project in a comic-strip format uses the metaphor of a football game plan. It is designed to reach a wider audience of diverse people who prefer to access research information through images than through textual explications.

This interactive workshop takes participants through illustrative examples of information design and data visualisations from hand-drawn posters, maps and science fiction speculations. The workshop discusses principles of visualisation design and encourages participants to use the tools they are already know. The iterative, interactive approach is a supported space for participants to create a visualisation of their own research to use in publications or on social media.

This animated video invitation was used during a conference on disruption for young people to tempt them into a game of making. Built on theories of play the data collection for this project is designed to support the agency and autonomy of the players as they generate visual data on identity. The invitation starts with a visual representation of the travelling zine of the project as it visited twelve different homes, orients the player on the accompanying website and gives cryptic instructions on how to find the site.

Taking inspiration from textile art this animated visualisation is designed to reduce cognitive load and invite audiences into the book published by education researchers. This design is built on the metaphor of a tree for knowledge using colour and shape, such as the wattle tree shown, for preattentive processing recognition of the country’s term.

This video representation of six months of Australian public transport data includes a sonofication of the data, representing the peaks as an audible heartbeat, with a visualisation of the data as an ECG line. This design uses our recognition of the rhythm of a heart beat to show patterns of activity, compressing a large amount of data into a very short time using animation to represent the time dimension.
