Week 1 – 4/6/07 – Introduction

 

Assignment 1- Look through the list of schools on the I-schools project web site (http://www.ischools.org/oc/). Choose one you are interested in. In a few sentences, explain why you picked that school. In several sentences describe what you understand their Informatics academic program and / or research to be.

 

 

Week 2 – 4/13/07 – Special Lecture – Meet first in classroom

 

Colin Ware – Data Visualization Research Lab, University of New Hampshire

 

Assignment 2 – Pick a visualization from your day-to-day life. You may use 1/3 of a page or a separate page to illustrate that visualization with a photograph or screen capture. In the remaining 2/3 of the page, explain how this visualization relates to you (how you use it) and in one or a few sentences each, name a characteristic of this visualization that makes it good and / or poor for the purpose. (If you are very ambitious – not required – I will post over the next few days pointers to characteristics by other researchers).
