ITS WEEK 4 YA ALLAH!! *dying internally*
How's y'all doing?
Alright. So lets get on it. So on this week's activity in class. We were taught how to deal with data //Quantitative Research (e.g. Survey, Observation, Experiments)// and how do we identify the patterns and organize it?
So we were introduced "L.A.T.C.H". Created by Richard Saul Wurman, founder of TED Talks.
So What is "L.A.T.C.H"? It is identify as location, alphabet,time,category and hierarchy.
Based on my understanding which how does each of it works is :-

L(LOCATION) - To collect data by how the place is arranged. So we were given a task to go to a certain spot in INTI to so call bird-view the LATCH data collection. Notice how the table is arranged in that order?
A(ALPHABET) - For this alphabet, they categorize it by maybe in an orderly fashion A-Z system. So for example, if i were to take a someone's name like maybe. Emilia, Jin and Andre. It will arrange according to alphabetical order. Andre, Emila and Jin
T(TIME) - For time, it goes to the same as alphabet but in more of a timeline manner. So for the image above, Gallery level 1, in the case where it will produce a live result as each students are constantly on the move on certain hours. So in a way we can gather information for time in this way.
C(CATEGORY) - Category is more of a what kind of stuff do you want to let them know? Maybe like Students, hairstyle, alone/group, and etc.
H( HIERARCHY ) - Hierarchy is more of a position in ranking. Eg like, from top to bottom, big to small, oldest to youngest. It has a ascending or descending order.
L.A.T.C.H Exercise

For the L.A.T.C.H exercise
We gathered the information based on
our position (refer to the pic on top of this page) We were position for that location, and we took based on Category and hierarchy.
So we looked on how many people are in groups, and what were the student's doing.
So how do we compile the data and interpret in a design way, we made an interactive 8 star-shuriken. So on each of the color will represent some data.
Yellow - Sleeping *1 TABLE / 1 INDIVIDUAL SLEEP*
Red - Talking *5 TABLES / 5 GROUPS TALKING*
Green - MIA(Missing in action) *2 TABLES / 1 GROUP HAS LEFT THE BAG ON TABLE, 1 PERSON LEFT THE BAG ON TABLE.
Blue - On electronic *11 TABLES / 1 TABLE WHOLE GROUP USING, 10 TABLES INDIVIDUAL USE.
So we conclude on the activity with a mini presentation.
What went well and didnt went well. So apparently it was hard to navigate with data since it was a live result per minute that students are going up and down at foyer(gallery). So we kinda take a picture of it and go back and study the image instead. But what could have improve is that we could have walked down and scoop more data.
Concept mapping progress : -
What to do:-
- Find proof of the concept map
- Do google doc for the essay.
-Methodology
- Purpose
-Framework
