The document describes an interactive infographic installation created by Patrick Dinnen and Anthea Foyer for the Centre for Faculty Development's 10th anniversary to showcase the institutions, teachers, learners, education impact, and connections of the CFD over the past 10 years using responsive surfaces and RFID tokens that trigger responses on screen about the user's chosen year and institution.

3. What we proposed...
ouridea
To create an engaging, informative, poetic and participatory experience for all
CFD stakeholders including the University and Hospital management, current

they are most proud of.

4. CFD 10 Years of Connections
PROJECT HIghlight
We wanted the audience to feel as though they could
have their own experience reflected in the project.
Description
The red and blue rectangles are responsive surfaces. When the
year and institution tokens are placed into these slots, RFID tags
in the tokens trigger responses on the screen. For example, if an
audience member uses the token from 2003 and pairs it with the
image associated with St Michael’s Hospital the screen will
change to show an image that reflects the amount of people
who were new that year from that institution. It will also bring up
a graph that showcases that particular institution and its
number of connections with the CFD each year.

5. CFD 10 Years of Connections
PROJECT HIghlight: institutions
Description
The audience was invited to choose both the year they joined the
CFD and the institution they came through. These two events
triggered responses on screen that allowed the audience to see
their institution in relation to the rest and also to see the growth
each year of the organization.
The dates were straight forward but the institutions had picture
clues rather than names. This encouraged the audience to work
together to figure out the institutions. It also enabled them to open
up and start conversations with each other about their roles and
experiences with the CFD.

6. CFD 10 Years of Connections
PROJECT HIghlight: The teachers, learners & staff
The core of the CFD is the people involved with it.
Description
We incorporated them through a series of rotating images of
admin, teachers and learners through out the year. The audience
really enjoyed seeing familiar faces.

7. CFD 10 Years of Connections
PROJECT HIghlight: The Education & its Impact
Measuring the impact of the CFD was important for this
initiative.
Description
Using quotes from all key stakeholders allowed us to showcase
the great work that the CFD has done for the past 10 years.
These quotes rotated along with the photos to give a
personalized experience to the audience.

8. CFD 10 Years of Connections
PROJECT HIghlight: The Interactivity
Providing an engaging experience was of key importance.
Description
Having a physically interactive experience was important to achieving this goal. The experience of moving the pieces around and seeing how their
actions were affecting the infographic on the screen gave a stronger connection for the audience and also provided a reason to stay longer with the
piece.
