Data Visualization and Student MobilityMaster's Project for summer term 2009 and winter term 2009/2010
Lead by Prof. Dr. Prof. Dr. Andreas Breiter, University of Bremen
Dipl.-Inf. Angelina Lange, University of Bremen
“Data Visualization and Student Mobility” will be a collaborative effort by the University of Bremen and the University of the Arts Bremen. Applicants for our joint Digital Media Program with an interest and academic background in Media Design will be enrolled at the University of the Arts and will be awarded the degree Master of Arts (M.A.); applicants for our joint Digital Media Program with an interest and academic background in Media Informatics will be enrolled at the University Bremen and will be awarded the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.) upon successful completion of the program. The intention is to bring together both media informatics and design in a challenging, interdisciplinary project. We hope that you, our future students, will contribute your own specific or typical experiences with issues of student mobility and apply your wide variations of skills and backgrounds for an exciting learning experience and innovative results of “Data Visualization and Student Mobility”. AbstractThis project combines the design and the software development for complex data visualization in specificapplication contexts. Data or information visualization is an interdisciplinary field. It requires knowledge from user-centered design and innovative interface design as well as from software development, database systems and statistics. The more data becomes available, the more effort will be put into their visualization and into appropriate interfaces in order to gain new insights. The intention to generate and support knowledge in this context must be based on critical reflection. Issues of privacy and surveillance, benefit and misuse will be addressed. But the ultimate goal is to support analytical processes. This has become an art itself. The following figures might illustrate the “beauty of statistics”.
In order to keep a focus, we suggest a specific application domain in which the project team members can play with data: international student mobility. Since the introduction of the EU Erasmus Program, 10,000 of European students took the opportunity to study away from their home university. Additionally, German universities are as attractive to international students as international (non-European) universities to German students. The exchange programs are usually managed by International Offices who have collected a significant set of data. We know the number of incoming and outgoing students broken down by
The research topics can develop from the following core questions:people understand data,
For students at the University of Bremen the focus will be on system requirements analysis, specification, development and evaluation of a prototype or simulation. Both project groups will frequently meet in joint sessions as well as work independently. Learning Objectives
