Animated explanations

Dynamic visuals make modelling choices visible.

Animated scatterplot with fitted lines and geometric relationships

Scatterplot geometry and model fitting

Shows how point patterns and fitted lines can be discussed as visual reasoning, not just formulas.

Animated density contour example with bandwidth value 2

Density estimation with broad bandwidth

Illustrates how smoothing decisions shape the story told by a contour visualisation.

Animated density contour example with bandwidth value 0.8

Density estimation with narrow bandwidth

Contrasts with the broader example so students can compare sensitivity to parameter choice.

Animated time-weighted scatterplot example

Local pattern over time

Uses animation to make changing local structure and weighting easier to see.

Animated small multiples and trend example

Small multiples and trend comparison

Supports discussion of how the same data can be viewed through multiple local windows.

Audio and recap materials

Multimodal resources give students alternative ways to revisit ideas.
