TASK-1

Initial Post

“Whydo we need to understand data visualisations? There is more and moredata around us, and data are increasingly used in decision-making,journalism, and to make sense of the world. One of the main ways thatpeople get access to data is through visualisations, but lots of peoplefeel like they don’t have the skills and knowledge to make sense ofvisualisations. This can mean that some people feel left out ofconversations about data.” – http://seeingdata.org/developing-visualisation-literacy/

Please conduct the following activity located at the following address:

Tell us what you think of the visualisations that we used in our focus group research. Instructions below!

What to do

1. Look at the visualisations byclicking on the images below. You can choose to open the visualisationin a NEW tab or window (we recommend this) or view it in a pop-up windowif you prefer to stay on this page. Some are interactive (i) and someare static (s).
2. Place the images on the grid. Whenyou’ve looked at one, go to the grid and position the image accordingto whether you liked or didn’t like and learned or didn’t learnsomething from the visualisation (‘learning something’ could also meanconfirming something you already knew). Only place the visualisationsthat you have looked at onto the grid. Click SUBMIT.
3. Compare your views with others. You can compare your responses to the visualisations with those of others, by clicking COMPARE.

Choose three of your favorite visualisations. Post a 3 – 5 sentence summary of why you chose the visualisations.What caught your attention? Were they effective in presenting theprovided data? If possible, explain how you would you do to improve thevisualization?
