Shifts in information visualization practice are forcing a reconsideration of how infovis is taught. Traditional curricula that focused on conveying research-derived knowledge are slowly integrating design thinking as a key learning objective. In part, this is motivated by the realization that infovis is a wicked design problem, requiring a different kind of design work. In this paper we describe, VizItCards, a card-driven workshop developed for our graduate infovis class. The workshop is intended to provide practice with good design techniques and to simultaneously reinforce key concepts. VizItCards relies on principles of collaborative-learning and research on parallel design to generate positive collaborations and high-quality designs. From our experience of simulating a realistic design scenario in a classroom setting, we find that our students were able to meet key learning objectives and their design performance improved during the class. We describe variants of the workshop, discussing which techniques we think match to which learning goals.
The alienation of science & technology is a kind of abnormal phenomenon coming from the research or use of science & technology. It makes science & technology from the tool that serves and brings benefit to human into the power that controls and harms human, so the regulation of the alienation of science & technology is the requirement of the sound development of science & technology, and the socio-economic progress, as well as the improvement of people's living standards. Law is the primary measure to regulate the alienation of science & technology. The legal regulation is the fundamental way because it provides the value orientation, the norms of behavior, the rational allocation of resources and the reward and punishment mechanism for the control of the alienation of science & technology. In China, The alienation of science & technology has gradually come into being and has increasingly been serious with the development of science & technology since the reform and open policy has been implemented. The legal regulation of the alienation of science & technology is an important component of the modernization construction, its promotion asks to be guided by scientific concept on development, firm the legal foundation, strengthen the responsibility of the government and bring the corrective function of judicature into full play
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
