How this course updates itself

Every day we scan the latest information in every field. We share with you what we think is a change as we go through regular course curriculum work, so it's the most current thing possible.

Nothing in the news has changed what this course teaches. The daily scan last checked it on ; when something does change, a dated note with sources appears here.

Debate a counselor

Take a position on Data Visualization & Communication. The AI counselor argues the other side, asks you questions back, and cites a source for every fact it states. Sources listed under a reply are the pages it actually found; if none are listed, it is arguing from reasoning only. It is an AI and it can be wrong: check the sources.

    Practice

    1. Take a chart you made earlier and remove every element that is not data or a label.
    2. Recolour it with one accent and greys; check it with a colour-blindness simulator.
    3. Set type sizes so the title reads first, the axis second.

    Check

    Before-and-after images of the same chart, with three sentences on what changed and why.
