The thematic module introduces the student to making information visualization accessible. We live in a visual world, where most information is visually perceived, enabling users to observe and use the information. Taking accessibility into account requires alternative ways to perceive information. Lectures focus on visualization techniques and accessibility guidelines covering non-textual content.
