Vis. course syllabus examples..
Hi.. We are trying to revise our visualization courses to create one that combines topics in both infovis and scivis. Given that the conferences and the vis communities have been moving closer and closer together and due to some difficulties of offering multiple vis courses in our program, we are trying to have topics from each of these two categories. Clearly its impossible to do justice to both, but since most of our students would take only one Vis course, what would be a syllabus look like? I would like to see examples of anything like this that you might have in your programs. Or at the least, what would be t he absolute essential topics you would want to choose from Infovis and Scivis (sort of the core)? I am thinking of a course at the graduate level at this point, but some version of this at the undergrad level might come later. Thanks. -- krs -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kalpathi Subramanian Ph: 704 687 8579 Associate Professor Email: krs@uncc.edu Dept of Computer Science Web:http://webpages.uncc.edu/krs The University of North Carolina Charlotte, NC 28202-0001
ps. A followup question that I should have asked in the earlier message: Has the vis community come up with any published guidelines for visualization courses (recommended topics, learning outcomes)? I would think after nearly 30+ years, there should be something, I think (?). I am slowly returning to teaching and getting back to vis courses and research after a long absence and hence all these questions! If yes, please point me to any helpful links. -- krs On 6/20/22 12:32 PM, Kalpathi Subramanian wrote:

I am designing a Vis course and going to use Ward, Grinstein, Keim book -- Interactive Data Visualization (2nd edition) for the course. Any of you used this as a textbook for your vis course in the past? Before I embark on a massive amount of effort to create lecture materials, if any of you are willing to share any materials, it would be helpful. Obviously, I wont use them as is, but try to adapt them to the topics I would want to cover and it would greatly reduce time putting in images, etc. Thanks. -- krs
