The '''Dynamic Visualizations in Instruction''' was a project implemented in collaboration with the [[Knowledge Media Research Center]] and funded by the German Leibniz Association. The [[Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute]] participated in all workshops and contributed both to the research and some logistics of the project. [[Yiannis Laouris]], [[Loredana Mihalca]], [[Lawrence Kalogreadis]] and [[Tatjana Taraszow]] participated in various phases and experiments of the project. The Cyprus team has also organised a meeting | |||
==Mission and Objectives== | |||
The basic idea of the project was that a successful knowledge acquisition with dynamic visualizations is a resource intensive process which requires simultaneous and optimized availability of different learning resources. This particularly comprises different processing capabilities of the cognitive system, functionalities of the applied computer technology and didactically substantiated contents and representations. Accordingly, the instructional potential of dynamic visualizations can only effectively evolve if these different learning resources are available in a coordinated way for a concrete knowledge acquisition scenario. This hypothesis was investigated in formal learning settings (e.g. school, university) as well as in informal learning settings (e.g. aquarium, diving excursion) for a natural sciences domain, the locomotion of fish<ref>http://www.iwm-kmrc.de/www/en/projekte/projekt.html?dispname=Resource-Adaptive+Design+of+Visualizations+in+the+Natural%0ASciences&name=NaturwissenschaftlicheVisualisierung</ref>. | |||
