Data Visualization

Overview

This course will focus on the application of data visualization, methods and best practices of data visualization. The course consists of presentation, demonstration and practical tasks for participants.

The goal of this course is to educate participants about basic steps in data visualization. Because of the way how the human brain processes the information, the best impact and memorability of the information is achieved by using visual objects, instead of using exhausting reports, or extremely large tables.

Data visualization means usage of visual objects, like tables and charts, so that they can carry out the messages to the final users in a simple, clear and correct shape. The course will cover application, methods and the best practices for data visualization.

Goals of the course:

• To introduce the participants with the advantages of data visualization and how does the audience visually perceives the information
• To introduce the participants with available tools/techniques for data visualization
• To educate the participants how to emphasize the message by choosing the correct type of visualization for the specific type of data
• To introduce the participants with the most common mistakes in the design of the visualizations and give participants the guidelines for the design of more effective visualizations.
