NM2

learning target(s)

With regard to the programming skills, the actual topics treated in interactive visualization will to a large extent on what has been covered in the earlier programming course(s) However, taking a technology-agnostic view our learning goals can be summarized as:

NM2 target(s)

skill(s) -- scripting, XML-based configuration
knowledge -- interactive animation & visualization
theory -- dynamic systems, information presentation
experience(s) -- medium scale interactive visual application(s)
attitude -- explorative, problem-finding, aesthetics

In particular, students must gain an intuition on how to create visualizations using computational means, and how to approach visualization issues by iteratively, as outline in Ben Fry's book on visualizing data, going through the following steps: acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine and interact. No need to emphasize that an exploratory attitude is essential, as well as a (to be developed) sense of (computational) aesthetics
