Course Overview

The Data Storytelling & Visualization course is about stories in which data is at the centre point. Too often, data storytelling is interpreted as creating visually-appealing data charts and it's much more than that. The story will explain the data and its importance.

Course Objectives

This course explores using data to create informative and compelling stories for your audience and improving the communication of your insights. Effective data storytelling requires much more than visually-appealing tables, charts and graphs. Without critical thinking throughout the visualization process, a great story can be muted or even difficult to understand.
