  3. Teaching with a Visual Tree of Life • What we did • Findings and Recommendations • Visions for the Future

  4. Teaching with a Visual Tree of Life • What we did • Findings and Recommendations • Visions for the Future

  5. Study Goals • Context • Value • Usability Challenges

  6. Study Goals • Understand how teachers currently teach about the evolutionary relationships between organisms • Determine how future software might facilitate common teaching tasks • Identify usability challenges

  7. Methods • Talk with People • Examine Existing Visualizations

  10. Teaching with a Visual Tree of Life • What we did • Findings and Recommendations • Visions for the Future

  11. Key Findings & Recommendations

  12. Key Findings & Recommendations • A GAP between research and teaching • The info is overwhelming!! Usability is key • The Tree’s history serves learning • Build bridges to tree-thinking

  13. “This is scientific information by scientists for scientists.” –High school teacher

  14. Crossing the Gap

  15. Key Findings & Recommendations • A GAP between research and teaching • The info is overwhelming!! Usability is key • The Tree’s history serves learning • Build bridges to tree-thinking

  16. Key Findings & Recommendations • A GAP between research and teaching • The info is overwhelming!! Usability is key • The Tree’s history serves learning • Build bridges to tree-thinking

  17. Key Findings & Recommendations • A GAP between research and teaching • The info is overwhelming!! Usability is key • The Tree’s history serves learning • Build bridges to tree-thinking

  18. Evolutionary Relationships Common ancestor of birds and dinosaurs Common ancestor of humans and dinosaurs

  19. ……..Progress! The Star!! It’s all about Me! time

  21. Teaching with a Visual Tree of Life • What we did • Findings and Recommendations • Visions for the Future

  22. Our Clients • CIPRES outreach • Tree of Life web project • HCIL biodiversity information visualization • Ed experts at UCMP and University of Pittsburgh

  23. Visions for the Future • User-centered design and development • A biologically meaningful index to biological information • A public mental map of the tree of life

  24. Visions for the Future • User-centered design and development • A biologically meaningful index to biological information • A public mental map of the tree of life

  25. Visions for the Future • User-centered design and development • A biologically meaningful index to biological information • A public mental map of the tree of life
