[Katy Borner]

Dear all,
We are excited to announce that the Information Visualization MOOC 
(IVMOOC) is now open for registration at http://ivmooc.cns.iu.edu 
<http://t.co/DorsP7CA>. The course will start on January 13, 2015.

Students will learn the theoretical and technical skills needed to 
create insightful information visualizations and they will work with 
real-world clients and data as a team. The evolving Spring 2015 list of 
clients and projects is here <http://ivmooc.cns.iu.edu/clients.html>. 
Results of the 2013 client projects from the /Visual Insights/ textbook 
are here <http://ivmooc.cns.iu.edu/docs/Visual_Insights_Ch8.pdf>.

Each unit of the course corresponds to a chapter in the /Visual 
Insights:////A Practical Guide to Making Sense of Data /textbook 
(http://cns.iu.edu/ivmoocbook14.html). Additionally, Part 2 of the 
/Atlas of Knowledge: Anyone Can Map/ (http://scimaps.org/atlas2) is 
available for free to facilitate understanding of the material.

Happy Holidays to you and your families,
Michael Ginda and Katy Börner
