Below is an image of the current prototype that I’ve been working on, it shows the basic overview of a course that is taught at Heriot-Watt University with each lecture broken down into several different coloured topics. These colours relate to the hexagons on the left-hand side which have been produced using topic modelling on the lecture materials.<\/p>\n
