Reflection of Lesson 1




It is a great time to share what I learn in the lesson. I think a learning blog is the best place to share my road of learning with my classmate and teacher. I am quite impressed when I noticed that I can admit in this module because it is a CEF module and I expect it is not easy to enroll me. Back to our topic, I am quite happy with the first lesson. I’m late today because of the meeting in my school.
I want to learn more about the visual communication method. In order to do that, I learnt the MITE6313 web publishing and design last year. I want to know more about that in this module. In this lesson, I learnt how to present our data with viewer. It is a quite difficult thing because the viewer may consider the method of presentation, time for reading etc. In this lesson, by using of Minard’ Map, we can know more about the interactivity and visualization for presenting information to viewer. In order to do that, the colour management is very important to produce a user friendly and attractive presentation. It is better to use graphical ways to work with ideas to present information, clarify thinking, and demonstrate understanding.
We also need to start building our learning blog. In this lesson, we learnt how to design the layout of the blog and know how to use the basic functions of the blog.
Let us see an example of visual and design in Minard's Challenge: Modern Re-Visions. If, as some say, Minard's depiction of Napoleon's 1815 March on Moscow defied the pen of the historian in its brutal eloquence (Marey, 1887), and is the best statistical graphic ever drawn (Tufte, 1983),
• Can re-draw it in some modern programming language? What does this tell us about comparative power and simplicity of various programming languages and environments? What a wonderful challenge for statistical computing and graphics!
• Can improve it--- construct a graphical display that tells Minard's story in a new light or from a new perspective? What a wonderful challenge for modern data visualization!
