Data can be used to support decision-making, provide insights on a range of topics, and affect change at a personal, business or community level. The visual representation, and communication to an intended audience, plays an important role. The visualisation can make making data useful to a broad audience or target a specific group. This class will cover core principles of data visualisation, to support the creation and evaluation of data visualisations, for audiences ranging from domain experts to novice users. Students will develop an understanding of what makes existing data visualisations work well, create visualisations using industry standard platforms, and evaluate their efficacy.
