Abstract
We present an activities framework for learning visualisation and computer graphics. The framework pivots around the academic developing an authentic learning scenario that is personalised for every student, followed by a suite of synchronous learning activities. The authentic assessment helps set the scene and motivate the learners, activities bring the students together to work on an aligned sub-task, while personalising the task enables each student to discuss their work without worrying about plagiarism. We demonstrate how we have applied the structure in two modules; first a third-year degree level module in computer graphics rendering and second an information visualisation masters module. In this paper we present the framework and discuss our experience with using it.
