James Curran, Associate Professor, School of IT, University of Sydney provides some practical examples of representation. Representation of data is an important aspect of any mode of communication including within digital devices. At one stage in the video (2 min 40 sec mark) you will be invited to participate by pausing the video and creating a quick sketch. You may wish to have a pen and paper available. The video 'Understanding representation, part 2' follows up ideas discussed in this clip.
