Dear all, We are excited to announce that the Information Visualization MOOC (IVMOOC) is now open for registration at http://ivmooc.cns.iu.edu <http://t.co/DorsP7CA>. The course will start on January 13, 2015. Students will learn the theoretical and technical skills needed to create insightful information visualizations and they will work with real-world clients and data as a team. The evolving Spring 2015 list of clients and projects is here <http://ivmooc.cns.iu.edu/clients.html>. Results of the 2013 client projects from the /Visual Insights/ textbook are here <http://ivmooc.cns.iu.edu/docs/Visual_Insights_Ch8.pdf>. Each unit of the course corresponds to a chapter in the /Visual Insights:////A Practical Guide to Making Sense of Data /textbook (http://cns.iu.edu/ivmoocbook14.html). Additionally, Part 2 of the /Atlas of Knowledge: Anyone Can Map/ (http://scimaps.org/atlas2) is available for free to facilitate understanding of the material.
