The advent of OERs, MOOCs and SPOCSs has fostered reflection and evolving approaches to computing education at large. At the same time information visualization has emerged as a mature enough field to provide a large amount of new material giving birth to potentially new tools. Based on these advances, reflections and user experience, the aims of this workshop are:

  1. Identifying and bringing together inter-community academics and professionals seeking to report on innovative experiences in information visualization education with its inter-relationships with other related disciplines such as HCI, Computer Graphics, Web Science and Computer Science.
  2. Consolidating and furthering sparse international cooperation amongst leading researchers from various cultures to discuss and articulate significantly different or common perspectives in this area or related areas.
  3. Discussing both successes and pitfalls encountered in collaborative curriculum co-creation and other related resource co-creation and co-annotation. 
  4. Based on previous experience, sketching and discussing an ideal visual framework that could handle material sharing.

Participation and publication

Both practionners from industry and faculty members are welcome to participate. Participants are asked to submit a position paper related to educational needs and purposes. Position papers are limited to four pages papers. Possible contributions include (but are not limited to):

  1. reporting experience by success of failure stories addressing the issues mentionned above
  2. reporting practice with advanced sharing systems
  3. model proposals for sharing, coordinating and co-creating educational material
  4. analysis of main sharing failure/success causes and consequences on learning
  5. curriculum coordination: models, tools, practice

Position papers are limited to four pages papers. All papers should be formatted according
to the ACM Templates http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Position papers should be submitted by March 16, 2014 at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nuance2014
Selected papers will be presented during the workshop and published on the web site of the workshop.
Amongst the selected papers, two papers may be published in the proceedings of AVI'2014.
