Presenting Information

Primary source data is difficult to read so we process it and display it in a info-graphic.

IPO chart- shows the process of developing an info-graphic(or any information system.)

 Infographic display information to:  

-Educate

-Inform

-persuade

They contain:

            -Diagrams

-Charts/Graphs

-Fonts

-Shapes

-Colours

-Lines and arrows to assist in communicating the information contained in the data.

They contain:

Different charts for different data.

LINE CHART

Change/Progress through time (not custard!)

SCATTER CHART

Display a relationship age between variables.

             Pie Chart

Shows percentage of a whole.

           





            Bubble chart:                                                                                                                                      

      3 dimension of data.







Bar Chart:  

Comparing categories (groups of dates)







Design Tools: are diagrams or other tools that help you design a solution.

IPO Chart: 

Hypothesis – what is expected or predicted through an investigation.

Example: Roger is expecting evidence of bullying at his university and those instances comparable with other educational institutes.                        

Design Layout: Is a depiction of what will be seen on the screen

Storyboard: Series of images (Screens/design layout) in order of the users progress through the solution.               
EXAMPLES:

Dataflow Diagram: Shows the flow of data through solution.

Example:

Gantt chart: Allows for scheduling tasks.

Example:

Problem Solving 
 Methodology

ANALYSIS: 
Solution Requirements (What is needed to be done) 
Constraints (limitations) 
-$ -Equip –Skills –Time Scope (what is included and what is not)                            
 DESIGN: Solution design (Using design tools to plan a solution) 

Evaluation criteria (How will you know the solution is a success) 
It’s a list of things the solution needs to do.

DEVELOPMENT: 
Manipulation. (Coding) Actually making the solution from the design tools to meet the  evaluation criteria.                       
Validation-Confirming data entered is correct.
 Testing- checking the solution produces correct out comes. 
Documentation-User manually quick start: Guides, reports, on the progress of the solution.

EVALUTION: 
Strategy-How to check the solution is successful?
 –Observe users
 –Questionnaires
 -Watch data flow
 -Interview users. 
 Report-On all the aspects of the solution for the continued maintenance of solutions costs, etc...
