Data Fluency: Visualisation and Storytelling

This workshop explores how data visualisation techniques could be utilised to better understand data and to communicate research efforts and outcomes. We'll be covering a broad range of techniques from simple and static 2D graphics to advanced 3D visualisations in order to provide a broad overview of the tools available for data analysis, presentation and storytelling. We'll also explore, among others, animated charts and graphs, web visualisation tools such as scrollytellers, and the possibilities of 3D, interactive, and even immersive visualisations. We use real world, concrete examples along the way in order to tangibly illustrate how these visualisations can be created and h ow viewers perceive and interact with them. We also introduce the various tools and skill sets you would need to be proficient at presenting your data to the world.

By the conclusion of this workshop, you would gain familiarity with the various possibilities for presenting your own research data and outcomes. You would have a more intuitive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various modes of data visualisation and storytelling, and would have a starting point to obtain the right skill sets relevant to developing your visualisations of choice.
