Data 411: Terminology, Coding, and Telling Stories

Today, data is everywhere, and it can assist you with your day-to-day work and communicate important information to others in your organization. Suppose you do not understand the language of data. If this is true, you will also have difficulty grasping data's fundamental value and visualization techniques that best communicate that value to stakeholders. In this program, panelists will use a game show style format to share critical data terminology and definitions so that the audience is actively involved with the data vocabulary and examples. After the terminology exposure to the fundamental aspects of quantitative and qualitative data, panelists will discuss coding your data to make it easier to work with and communicate its value to others. Finally, the audience can evaluate the best and most effective visualization tools (charts) for specific data sets by comparing and contrasting "failing" graphs with those who tell a story with the data.

Target Audience:

This program is for individuals who want to learn more about all aspects of data and those interested in a refresher on data basics.
