About this Class

This hour-and-a-half online training will examine how humans process and encode visual information and how visual attributes can be utilized to create effective visualizations. This will focus on enhancing graphic literacy, exploring methods for making better visualizations, and using stakeholder needs to guide your design choices.

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:

  • Discuss the value of data visualization and key visualization goals
  • Provide an introduction to human perception and its role in visualization
  • Describe the principles of visual encoding.
  • Provide an overview of core visualization techniques
  • Outline the steps for effectively presenting your visualizations to different audiences.
