A edX MOOC taught by Katy Börner of Indiana University on information visualization, the design of visual representations for making large and complex data understandable. The commenter notes the course is no longer available on edX.
One commenter calls it a great MOOC and points to it as a useful source for building visual literacy for software diagrams.

Unless you're following a regimented and formalized diagram paradigm, drawing is no different than writing. You have to be comfortable with failure and starting over.
I love drawing, but also struggle to make my diagrams relevant and useful in tech applications (software).
On the other hand, diagrams in software have a long and rich tradition. One of the topics I discovered which was fascinating and highly informative was a course on Business Process Management from TU Delft on Edx (though I can't seem to find it now).
I was amazed to discover business concepts diagramed and executable! How's that for formalized.
Besides that, it might just be a case of visual literacy. Katy Borner of Indiana University [3] had a great MOOC, Information Visualization at Edx (though, again, it's not available now).
