Introduction 👋👋🏻

 Hello, our names are Rico and Sinsi, and we'd like to introduce you to the data visualization in learning OER. In our presentation, we'd like show you how presenting data has grown over time and how it's becoming much easier in the education field to present complex information through pictures.

Why do we visualize data? 🥸   

  As ways to collect data have become more advanced and efficient, we need a method to interpret that data into ways audiences in a business, classroom or the general public can understand.  If gathering data is like the field and the mill, data visualization is the bakery.

Is there a lot more data? 📊

Yes,  there is a lot more data.  From cookies to devices to surveys to GPS tracking, there are so many more ways to collect data than ever before. Consider data visualization as the final step to data analysis. 

Data visualization enables us to 📈:

• Organize the data we collect

• Allow people to interact, digest, and analyze the information without overwhelming them

• Find and recognize relationships between the numbers and what is being studied. Visualization is the final step where we bring data sets together to sum up the stories

Data Visualization and Learning 🎓

       In learning and education, Data visualization presents a new frontier in how we teach complex and difficult subjects in different education programs. Previously challenging statistical content can be communicated to any audience, regardless of grade level or educational background.

In this OER, we'll explore the different benefits, growth and challenges of  data visualization in education.
