Free Infographics, Data Visualization Class By Design Guru Alberto Cairo

Just as I was looking for a fun online course to keep my brain humming, I get word that Alberto Cairo at the University of Miami will be leading a free online course on infographic design and data visualization. The course is the first of its kind for the Knight Center, and I’m hoping there are more to come.

The course starts Oct. 28 and will run for six weeks. No special software is required. You can sign up here or read more about it here. Below, Cairo explains what the course is all about:
