DATA VISUALIZATION AND MODELING FOR EDUCATORS

Catalog description

In the growing context of data informed decisions there is a need to answer "what if" questions in a variety of decision-making situations, as well as to display data both visually and interactively. This course will provide foundational skills in data visualization and modeling for educational decision making and instruction. It draws upon key fundamentals in data visualization (representing data trends visually) as well as key strategies in data modeling (interactive representations to explore possible outcomes). The course also explores the use of visualization and modeling technologies as well as assisting student learning with these tools. (Cross-listed with TED 8370 ).
