Although many have become popular among practitioners, they have not received systematic analysis in the visualization literature. Here we present an initial analysis, focusing on one subset of online practitioner-oriented resources—namely, resources that aid in choosing visualization techniques based on a designer’s communicative intent. We report the results of a comprehensive search for such resources, and discuss findings of an analysis based on multiple characteristics including communicative intent. Finally, we discuss future research directions.},

In this paper I examine the role that conceptual metaphor theory may contribute to such a foundation. I present a brief background on conceptual metaphor theory, including a discussion on image schemas, conceptual metaphors, and embodied cognition. I speculate on the role of conceptual metaphor for explaining and (re)designing communicative visualizations by providing and discussing a small set of examples as anecdotal evidence of the possible value of conceptual metaphor. Finally, I discuss implications of conceptual metaphor theory for communicative visualization design and present some ideas for future research on this topic.},

There are many metrics on which the success of communicative visualizations could be viewed, including those related broadly to the user’s subjective experience. One construct that has received attention in recent years is user engagement. In this paper, we examine the role of affective engagement (AE) in evaluating communicative visualizations. We explore options for assessing AE, and report a literature review on potentially relevant survey instruments. We provide suggestions on how to evaluate AE, discussing steps and analytical methods to develop a self-report assessment based on our ongoing work on AE in information visualization.},

In this work, we aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of the design and evaluation of interactivity by exploring user perceptions in an exploratory context. We report the findings of a lab study and reflect on its potential implications for visualization designers and researchers.},

To choose an appropriate visualization, designers need to know about the cognitive advantages and disadvantages of different visualization techniques. While considerable research has focused on low-level perceptual issues related to visual encodings and judgments, less research has focused on the cognitive operations that are supported by visualization techniques. We conducted a pilot study using mixed methods to uncover properties of some common visualization techniques that allow propositional statements to be directly observed rather than indirectly inferred. We describe the results of our study and discuss potential benefits of this line of research to visualization designers and researchers.},

In this note, we present the design and initial evaluation of a new studio-based undergraduate program in UX--the first of its kind at a large, research-intensive US university. The program includes several curricular innovations, such as an integrated studio pedagogy in which six topical strands are interwoven across two types of studios. These studios are interconnected and span five semesters of the undergraduate experience. We present the curriculum model and the foundational principles that informed its design. We describe the two types of studios and their interconnection, and present early evaluation data showing that students are building valuable skills. The program described in this note provides a trailblazing model for UX pedagogy at the undergraduate level.},
