Alberto Cairo's online course about infographics

Starting October 28th, Alberto Cairo (Author of the Book Functional Art) will conduct a new workshop: a six-week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) about infographics and data visualization through the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas.

 Alberto Cairo:

"I cannot promise that you will become a master infographics designer or data visualizer by the end of these six weeks. To achieve that, you would need to come to the University of Miami and join either our MA in Journalism or our MFA in Interactive Media. However, I will make sure that you will get enough skills and conceptual knowledge to get you started in the exciting field of presenting data and phenomena through charts, maps, and diagrams."

The course will be offerend in English and it's free.
