I know that how I *used* to present it won’t work — but I’ll see what I can come up with.

Glanceability is exactly it. Yes, we tell students to get 3 peer reviewed articles – and they try – but they don’t know what they need to find – because they don’t know enough about the content of the subject first or about who the major players are in order to even figure out what to select. With the visual display – which I confess I kept forgetting about but was always wowed when I was reminded – the overview is glanceable. How are we going to make sense of this in the ILP sessions?
