Metasystems Learning Design Theory on Information Visualization

Abstract

This paper presents the extension of Metasystems Learning Design Theory on Information Visualisation. Based on the hypothesis that educational norms have shifted considerably over the last decades, it is explained an innovative approach based on Lean Startup Theory. Within the context of the global education, the chapter explores the Metasystems Learning Design Principles as a response to the research question: What is the information visualisation from the perspective of Metasystems Learning Design Theory? The chapter incorporates results of a survey regarding the students' opinions of specific information visualisation features of Metasystems Learning Design Theory and its practical application for university courses: "Computational Chemistry", "Knowledge Management" and "Scientific methodology and ethics of research". This research serves the purpose of information visualisation criteria in the Higher Education. Conclusions are provided at the end.
