Data Visualization - The Essentials - History, Concepts, and Principles Online
SHARPGrads Elective.
Most of us live in a visual world. As technologies have developed, more of our world has become more visual. This is no less true in our learning, teaching, and research world as it is in our personal living world. Data visualization, the use of charts, graphs, plots, maps, etc., to explain and explore data, has now become an essential literacy as well as an expected application skill in growing areas of academia and work. This learning session provides a foundation for developing a fundamental understanding of data visualization. We will discuss five essentials:
- What data visualization is and why it's important
- Where data visualization came from and how continues to evolve
- Some of the science explaining why and how data visualization works
- Foundational principles that help to define effective and ineffective data visualizations
- Crucial ethical and accessibility issues related to data visualization use
