This diagram is an example of a word cloud, where words from a piece of text are arranged in a cloud shape. The words are written in varying sizes to show their frequency of occurrence in the original text. In this word cloud, the largest (and most often used) word in the text was ‘study’. The next most important words in slightly smaller text are ‘placement’, ‘care’ and ‘nursing’, as these relate to what is being studied. The third group of words, also in smaller text, includes ‘understanding’, ‘job’, ‘work’, ‘course’, ‘university’, ‘health’, ‘career’, ‘provides’, ‘OU’. The smallest words (and the least frequent or least important) in this word cloud are as follows: ‘encouraged’, ‘home’, ‘applied’, ‘employment’, ‘paid’, ‘programme’, ‘assistant’, ‘broad’, ‘going’, ‘future’, ‘skills’, ‘social’, ‘offered’, ‘choice’, ‘hopeful’, ‘allows’, ‘qualities’, ‘continuing’, ‘think’, ‘full’, ‘commitments’, ‘carrying’, ‘help’, ‘company’, ‘longer’, ‘part-time’, ‘currently’, ‘successful’, ‘application’, ‘degree’, ‘open’, ‘developing’, ‘option’, ‘ways’, ‘different’, ‘prepare’.
