Insights into Learning Vital Visualization Software on the Job

This study explores the experience of learning software key to a job while in that role. I focus on visualization software in three fields: architecture, user experience design, and geoscience. My insights come from analysis of one-on-one interviews conducted with both primary users of visualization software and their leads who supervise teams contending with members who are learning software on the job. This cross-disciplinary study seeks to reveal current methods in practice and identify opportunities to improve the experience of learning on the job.
