The course "Information Visualization" focuses on the study of visualization principles and techniques that facilitate improved understanding and analysis of data. Participants in this course not only develop a critical perspective on existing visualizations but also receive training in designing and implementing appropriate visualizations for complex and multidimensional datasets.

The course provides a comprehensive overview of various visualization types and techniques, ranging from static visualizations, known as "flatland" visualizations, which can also be represented on paper, to interactive visualizations of multidimensional data. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, including design principles, Tufte's graphical excellence, visualization integrity, and data-ink theory. Additionally, perception and color theory are explored, encompassing Gibson's affordance theory, perceptual processing, environmental factors, light, brightness, contrast, and constancy. Other topics covered include graph and connectivity visualization, focus + context visualizations, interaction techniques, and both generic and specific visualizations for complex and often multidimensional data.

Moreover, the course introduces students to various toolkits and methodologies for creating visualizations, providing them with hands-on experience in building their own visualizations. Students collaborate in groups to work on visualizations that leverage available datasets, aiming to generate innovative insights within specific domains.
