DH2322 Interactive Data Visualization 7.5 credits

The course covers the basic concepts of data visualization including visualization pipeline, data types, data transformations, data models, visual mappings, visual structures, view transformations, and evaluation techniques. Students develop projects using web-based visualization tools.

The course is project-based and students create and work both individually and in groups. The projects range from, for example, visualizing medical data to visualizing the environmental impacts of global trade. Group projects include actual data from open sources or from partners who provide the data.

After passing the course, the student should be able to

• develop interactive visualizations through interactive data transformations, visual mappings and view transformations 
• motivate design choices based on domain knowledge
• analyse and criticize information visualization systems
• demonstrate and explain own data visualizations for a broad audience
• evaluate their own data visualizations 

in order to achieve the ability to read and create interactive data visualizations. Knowledge of visualization enables clear communication in our data-rich world.
