[Infovis] Infovis course/datasets..

[Kalpathi Subramanian]

Hi.. I am teaching our Infovis course after a very long time this 
Spring. The last time I taught there were no textbooks to speak of.. we 
have come a long way in that regard..

I would like recommendations for datasets that I can use in course 
assignments/projects. Ideally, datasets that are paired with key 
visualization concepts. Any pointers on this?  I will be using D3js as 
part of the course and been trying to do a crash course on that in 
preparation for the course and slowly getting the hang of it.

Plan to cover the following topics (as of now!)

Human Perception and Information Processing

Data Foundations (types, distributions, etc)

Geospatial  data Vis

Multivariate Vis

Time Varying Vis

Interaction Concepts, Techniques

Visualization Evaluation/Design

(using a combination of 2-3 books - Munzner, Few, Ward)

Thanks.
