We are excited to announce our 2nd workshop on Innovations in Pedagogy of
Data Visualization at IEEE VIS 2017. Based on the feedback from the
workshop last year, we have shifted our focus to allow for more discussions
in the form of breakout sessions. Please note that the deadlines are a bit
early this year due to the conference schedule.
