This moment is the culmination of a career in information design, data visualization, and education that began in Spain in 1997. I believe that nothing I’ve done until now—the graphics I've designed, my classes, books, public talks, or MOOCs—matches the ambition and potential impact of the OVA. 2/x

We are launching with seven video courses and software tutorials, including my core course, Introduction to Visualization. Beginning in February, we’ll publish at least one new course every month. In April, I’ll also launch and lead a brand-new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). 4/x

The OVA would not have been possible without the efforts of a large group of collaborators. You can find them all on our website, including @vsueiro.bsky.social , Melissa Strong, Michela Tjan, Larry Flores, and others. 6/x
