Dear Colleagues, Per the request below, I wonder if any of you could share your experience of or involvement with data visualization and/or ipad/HTML5 authoring projects. Many thanks, apologies for cross-posting, Mark http://library.risd.edu/ http:// http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fleet-Library-at-Rhode-Island-School-of-Design-RISD ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eli Kintisch <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 1:55 PM Subject: Research question for RISD course... To: [log in to unmask], Annalisa Oswald <[log in to unmask]> Mark: I'm a journalist on a fellowship at MIT; I've been asked by RISD to propose a course for next year to be taught to students at RISD as part of the EPSCoR partnership. The course would focus on building an iPad or html5 app that explored how the ocean is being altered by climate change. The idea is that students, working in teams, would -- study the basic facts on marine science as scientists or scientific documents laid it out -- work collaboratively as a group to determine how the app would be organized, what its design would be -- in teams create the individual assets which made up the app. I asked Susan Doyle how we might determine whether this format of a class has been taught at any other art schools, or in art departments of other universities. She suggested I ask you. I've cc'd Annalisa Oswald, who I'm working with on the proposal. Best, Eli ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
