<span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span>[Yr11 Information Technology] Data visualisation and Infographics. What's the difference?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">
<div>Here is an interesting link to a video looking at Data visualisation, also becoming increasingly known or at least accompanied by the concept of Infographics.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1749283/nicholas-felton-infographics">http://www.fastcompany.com/1749283/nicholas-felton-infographics</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This brings up an interesting point. The Year 11 textbook or course outline doesn't mention Infographics (my spell checker doesn’t recognise the word!) yet the phenomenon is becoming quite popular and is being used interchangeably with the notion of Data

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is a link that attempts a clarification of this issue-there are many more:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would seem that it should be part of the vocabulary for Unit 2 Outcome 1? Would like to hear other opinions on this.</div>
