Effective Learning through Visualisation
Niels Bohr Common Room, Schuster Building, University of Manchester
26 May 2016 (11:00-16:00)<http://iop.msgfocus.com/c/1QELNyNwe65GmPC0kZfj2c>

This meeting is part of one of the three IOP-funded Sphere initiatives to stimulate research into university-level physics education.<http://iop.msgfocus.com/c/1QELNyNwe65GmPC0kZfj2c>

Visual representations are powerful tools for physics and science instruction; however, they must be created with care and implemented with appropriate support to ensure they are effective for learning. In this meeting we shall look at exemplars of using visualisations in teaching and outreach, as well as look at some of the aspects that make a visualisation and its use effective in education. The goal of the meeting is to bring together practitioners and researchers interested in the use of visualisation in the STEM subjects, and especially physics.<http://iop.msgfocus.com/c/1QEMQv6aaiIkVd2Vg1Tkon>
