Each week as we launch into a new theme in interactive and/or animated mapping, we will have a group give us an informal introduction. The "Topic Overview" consists of a few summary paragraphs along with 3-5 example maps that help highlight the topic (all of which are posted on the blog of one of the presenters). Near the start of class, the group will explain the topic to the class and will demo the web maps they selected using the lecturn machine. The goal is to kick-start the discussion and begin feeding ideas for design and production.
These are the topics for this semester. Groups of two.
