[Yr11 Information Technology] Motion Charts

[Garth, Lucas A]

Excellent stuff Darren
I use Google Sheets for data visualisation but I'm a bit disappointed about their future lack of support for motion charts and that's leading me to investigate alternatives.

I'm liking the use of Adobe Illustrator for this work, which could neatly tie into a Digitech Year 10 area of studies on the basics of working with data so students get a taste of Year 11 while in Year 10.

Thanks, gonna steal this.
I've done a little bit of Adobe Illustrator work in this topic for the first time, here's my terrible support PowerPoint if it's any use. Game of Thrones reference included.

Hi all,

I was looking for an alternative to Google's flash-based motion charts and found a new tool Chart.ca

Here is their blog: http://blog.charte.ca/

And their motion chart tool site: https://editor.charte.ca/#/
The tool exports a .svg file that students can save and view in any browser.


I put together (ie spent DAYS on) a set of instructions for my class to extract data from the World Bank dataset and create a motion chart using Charte.ca that shows the relationship between life expectancy and expenditure on health in Australia and other Asian countries.



It worked quite well so I thought I'd share.



Some traps:

  *   Use Firefox or Chrome only
  *   If you get an error about different versions of the tool, clear the browser's cache (they have been making quite frequent updates)



This may be too late for many of you, but I hope some find it useful.



Regards,

Esther.
