Resource acquisition and generation involved capturing of "real-time, real-life" patient data, including video and audio recordings, and the creation of a digital stroke taxonomy classifying the symptoms and signs of stroke. A number of approaches were explored for visually demonstrating the effects of functional impairment in stroke patients using animations and juxtaposing brain imaging scans and 3D models. An iterative, evolutionary, action research approach was employed to build the e-learning tool around an array of acute neurological scenarios of stroke and stroke-mimic presentations. Each scenario followed a standardised teaching process aligned to the "patient journey". Evaluation helped to focus on how successful different interface elements reinforced the underlying development design strands.

Two main objectives characterized the assessment exercise. First, to collect feed-back from the controllers on the features and functionalities provided by the displays. The different visual displays were expected to support a number of well defined ATC tasks as well as provide a representation compatible with typical ATC-related visuo-spatial requirements. Second we expected that controllers’ feedback would throw light on the relationship between the displays as tools, and the more general operational problems of management of air traffic. It was hypothesized in fact that the discussion around the tools could have worked as a “window” on controllers practices, letting emerge those aspects of the work, that although not directly related to the tool will be affected by the introduction of the tool itself.

We refer to such displays as 4D displays, incorporating both visualizations of 3D space and time. This work is based on ethnographic observation studies, contextual inquiry-type studies, as well as in-depth cognitive task analyses, of air traffic controllers in two different ATC domains: a tower control room and a terminal area control centre. Guided by human factors principles, we ...
