Abstract

iSchools have been offering visualization courses and developing programs in data science. The practice of visualization requires expertise in a diverse range of skills including design, data curation and coding, all of which leverage iSchool strengths. Thus, iSchools have a unique opportunity to develop curricula suited for data scientists that leverage iSchool strengths. During this half day, fishbowl style workshop, conference goers interested in visualization education at information schools will be invited to explore themes related to the inclusion of information and data visualization coursework in iSchool data science curricula. Workshop organizers represent several diverse disciplines with interest in applied visualization practices and collectively have a range of experiences using visualizations in research and teaching visualization in the classroom.
