Knowledge Visualization is a sub discipline of Information Design and Instructional Message Design (pedagogy; didactics, pedagogical psychology). Knowledge Visualization aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non-computer-based visuals complementary. Examples of such visual formats are photographs, information graphics, sketches, diagrams, images, mind maps, interactive visualizations, dynamic visuals (animations), imaginary visualizations, story boards or even physical objects for inspection. Information design is the design of information objects, and more generally the design of visual displays of data. ... Pedagogy is the art or science of teaching. ... The art of teaching is called didactics. ... A sepia-tinted photograph of an English couple, taken in 1895. ... The Washington Metro subway map Information graphics or infographics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge. ... Look up Sketch in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Sample flowchart diagram A diagram is a simplified and structured visual representation of concepts, ideas, constructions, relations, statistical data, anatomy etc used in all aspects of human activities to visualize and clarify the topic. ... For images in Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Images. ... A hand-drawn mind map A mind map (or mind-map) is a diagram used to represent words and ideas linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. ... Interactive Visualization 3-D Simulations Stanford University: Folding@home http://folding. ... 12 drawings per second is the typical rate for an animated cartoon. ...


While information visualization concentrates on the use of computer-supported tools to explore large amount of abstract data, knowledge visualization focuses on the transfer of knowledge among persons. Beyond the mere transfer of facts, knowledge visualization aims to further transfer insights, experiences, attitudes, values, expectations, perspectives, opinions, and predictions by using various complementary visualizations. Dynamic forms of visualisation such as educational animation have the potential to enhance understandings of systems that change over time. Information visualization is a complex research area. ... Look up Experience in Wiktionary, the free dictionary This article discusses the general concept of experience. ... Attitude is a key concept in psychology. ... expectation in the context of probability theory and statistics, see expected value. ... Look up Opinion in Wiktionary, the free dictionary An opinion is a persons ideas and thoughts towards something. ... Educational animations are animations produced for the specific purpose of fostering learning. ...


Knowledge Visualization has its roots in Pedagogy, Cognitive Psychology Graphic Design Visual Communication, Communication Sciences, and Knowledge Management, where it is a key-issue to make knowledge visible so that it can be better identified, accessed, shared, discussed, applied, or generally be managed. A method proposed by researchers uses time description language and timescapes which lead to time-technologies that make knowledge visualization possible, especially for artificial intelligence agents. Pedagogy is the art or science of teaching. ... Cognitive Psychology is the school of psychology that examines internal mental processes such as problem solving, memory, and language. ... This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. ... Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information. ... Communication sciences refers to the schools of scientific research of human communication. ... Knowledge management (KM) may refer[1] to the ways organizations gather, manage, and use the knowledge that they acquire. ... Hondas intelligent humanoid robot AI redirects here. ... Simple reflex agent Learning agent In computer science, an intelligent agent (IA) is a software agent that exhibits some form of artificial intelligence. ...
