Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to expand students' knowledge and skills in advanced visualisation methods. Emphasis is placed on specialised techniques in thematic cartography, multivariate mapping, dynamic visualisation, the processing of spatio-temporal data, telecartography, and modern geovisualisation technologies. Students gain practical experience with advanced visualisation methods. Within the broader context of information visualisation, they further develop their understanding of handling large and spatio-temporal datasets in the map production process. Lectures are complemented by discussions of the topics covered, and seminars include practical work with various types of spatial data, both individually and in groups.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Mark, Oral exam, Written exam, Student performance
To obtain course credit, sufficient attendance at seminars is required (a maximum of two absences per semester), as well as the submission and approval of all assigned practical tasks. The examination consists of a written and an oral component. It covers the lecture topics, with particular emphasis on assessing practical understanding of advanced visualisation methods.
