In this work, each gr In the course on 16 October 2024, we saw the ‘Storymaps’ programme. In this course, after the explanations of what maps are, we formed groups, and each group dealt with its own topic. My group's topic was Preserving Society Hill, which was a map of a neighbourhood in Philadelphia. The task for the group was to prepare a presentation on story maps based on the given questions. My group tried to use the programme to see what was possible, but there wasn't enough time to complete the task, so we weren't able to finish our presentation to our liking. Another group had the John Snow Map as their theme, at the beginning of their presentation on Storymaps they explained who John Snow was. Then they put the first layer on the map, which was the map of Soho from 1854. The map dealt with the outbreak of cholera in London in the same year and the group explained what the consequences of the outbreak were. In layer 2, the group added the death toll and the larger the circle, the higher the death toll. The map should be the first step in confirming Snow's theory. Layer 3 contains the water pumps of Soho, thus verifying the second step of Snow's theory, which says that the spread happens via water and not via air. In layers 4 and 5 we can see that the water pump in Broadwick Street was the ‘hotspot’ for the outbreak, as there was a high death toll in the radius of the map, which can be seen on the map. - +## Palladio, 23.10.2024 +I was not present for the course on 23.10.2024 and for this reason I did the task we were given in this course on my own at home and familiarised myself with the Palladio programme on my own. The Palladio programme allows us to visually represent the connection between different people or other things. The first step in this task was to create an Excel table in which we had to enter all the information and indicate the connection between these people. Later, we were to enter this Excel spreadsheet into the Palladio programme and the programme would process the information so that we could then choose how to visually view the connection between, for example, people in a diagram. The Palladio programme seems practical, and I could imagine that it could be very helpful for my master’s thesis. Because in my master's thesis I also have to collect several pieces of information and find the connection between them. For this reason, I believe that Palladio can help me a lot to find the connection in the confusing information more easily and to understand it more easily. I also got on very well with the programme during the task and in general I can say that I find this programme very practical for organising and understanding large amounts of information. What I sometimes found problematic in the task was that the diagrams that visualise the connections were themselves somewhat confusing. However, I think this was because I had too much information in the Excel spreadsheet. However, I did not try to do the task with a smaller Excel spreadsheet.
