Weaving Data is an open educational resource that reimagines data visualisation through tangible, artistic, and embodied practices. Instead of visualising numbers on screens, this project guides learners to materialise datasets using yarn, a miniature 3D-printed loom, and the art of weaving.

Developed as part of a research-based creative practice, the guide helps learners explore how mood, sleep, sunlight, and movement data can be translated into physical patterns. The project introduces basic 3D modelling and printing techniques, followed by a unique method of using coloured threads to encode and interpret data in meaningful ways.

This resource is designed for absolute beginners, interdisciplinary learners, educators, and digital humanists. No prior experience in 3D design or data science is required—just curiosity and creativity.

Inspired by feminist data visualisation, textile art, and sensory storytelling, Weaving Data invites you to experience data not just intellectually, but also emotionally and physically.

#ColourOurCollections is an annual international colouring festival on social media where libraries, museums, archives and other cultural institutions share free colouring content featuring images from their collections. It was launched by The New York Academy of Medicine Library in 2016 and the number of participating institutions has grown since then.

In February 2022, UCC Library participated for the first time in #ColourOurCollections by sharing images from Special Collections & Archives to spread awareness and better engagement with collections by inspiring creativity and sparking curiosity.

This book compiles all the #ColourOurCollections colouring books, organised by year created.

Design Thinking is one of the world’s most popular approaches to establishing dynamic, human-centred, goal-oriented innovation. The Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation through Design Thinking educates design thinkers to work across a wide spectrum of settings and sectors.

This Pressbook showcases two eportfolio examples from student teams in the 2021/2022 cohort for the program for the education assessment modules. It also includes pitch presentations from both 2021/22 and 2020/21 cohorts.

It is envisaged that these exemplars will demonstrate to students how they might consider to capture their own learning journeys as a team and how to present information in a coherent, meaningful, reflective, creative and engaged way.

The objective of this event was to help UCC postgraduate students to develop and/or nurture a range of transferable skills, in an applied learning environment. This was done by exploring and putting in to practice the power of interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration. This book outlines the 12-hour innovation challenge and showcases the final presentations created by the students.
