LEARNING PATH // DESIGNERS, DEVELOPERS, DATA JOURNALISTS, ARCHIVISTS, EDUCATORS, AND ACCESSIBILITY REVIEWERS
Choose the least complex mode, expose uncertainty and sources, preserve deterministic interaction, and provide reduced-motion, keyboard, nonvisual, and low-bandwidth equivalents.
Estimated total: 146 minutes
This learning path is repository-authored curation of public educational routes. It records no participant testing, accepts no files or free text, sends no choices to a remote service, and grants no source authentication, specialist approval, accessibility certification, publication authority, activation authority, production approval, or tuning authority.

A mode-selection matrix for maps, globes, timelines, networks, comparisons, document readers, statistical panels, narratives, and mixed views.
/international/event-literacy/choosing-a-presentation-modeFour common modes and the distinct questions, distortions, and accessibility duties each carries.
/international/event-literacy/maps-globes-timelines-and-networksWhen direct comparison, source inspection, measurement, or linked analysis is more useful than an animated map.
/international/event-literacy/before-after-documents-statistics-and-mixed-viewsHow to show confidence, location error, time ranges, model limits, and source provenance without hiding them behind polish.
/international/event-literacy/uncertainty-precision-and-source-visibilityInteraction rules for keeping selected entities, labels, connectors, and evidence stable as a user pans, zooms, rotates, or changes views.
/international/event-literacy/deterministic-labels-semantic-zoom-and-context-recoveryA baseline accessibility architecture for visual event stories before immersive enhancement is added.
/international/event-literacy/reduced-motion-keyboard-and-low-bandwidthA test plan for marker density, labels, animation, timeline granularity, dossier length, callout size, source visibility, and simultaneous layers.
/international/event-literacy/cognitive-load-and-empirical-testingA restrained pattern library for expansion, displacement, alliance, trade disruption, disaster, diplomatic travel, sanctions, infrastructure failure, information spread, resource depletion, conflict, and demographic change.
