Connections 23012. Visualizing Information Whether created or
analyzed, produced for professional or folk purposes, viewed as
data or expression, images are an increasingly common component
of contemporary communication in both scholarly and popular
venues. Each of the courses in this connection addresses the
process of creating information out of images and their display.
The increasing reliance on visual imagery in digital
communication has put a premium on developing a genuine visual
literacy in the encoding and deciphering of visual
communication. This connection will allow students to appreciate
the importance, power and value of using visual media for both
gathering and disseminating knowledge. This may be completed as
a two- or three-course connection. A two-course connection must
link courses from at least two different areas; a three-course
connection must link courses from three areas. COMP 365 Computer
