Description

Data Visualisation and Presentation micromodule aims to empower you to transform datasets into narratives through visual representation and equip you with the tools and knowledge to communicate data effectively. Most courses focus on either theory or practice and specialise in the principles of data visualisation, data storytelling, or practical visual creation and programming. This micromodule combines theoretical data visualisation principles and practical experience using the R programming language package ggplot2 to create compelling visuals. By the end of this micromodule, you will be equipped to transform raw data into visual stories, allowing you to create impactful presentations and make informed decisions based on data-driven insights.

Information

In the age of information, the ability to transform raw data into compelling visual stories is invaluable. The Data Visualisation and Presentation micromodule is designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed to communicate data effectively through visual representation. This micromodule combines theoretical foundations with practical applications.

The goal of this micromodule is to provide the fundamental concepts and techniques of data visualisation using the R package ggplot2 and to enable you to present and communicate with data visuals effectively.

Throughout this micromodule, you will gain a deeper understanding of data visualisation principles and practical experience using the R package ggplot2. By the end of this micromodule, you can create customised visualisations that go beyond basic charts and graphs.

In the first half, you will learn about data analysis fundamentals and the appropriate use of various charts for different data types. This knowledge will help you enhance your visuals and avoid common mistakes. In the second half, you will create visualisations using the R package ggplot2.

By participating in this micromodule you will acquire skills to transform raw data into compelling visual stories, enabling them to make impactful presentations and decisions based on data-driven insights.
