Introduction to infographics and data visualisation
Description
Information visualisation has become one of the fastest growing tools in multiple professional fields such as statistics, scientific research and journalism. It is used to analise and extract data and make it meaningful for both a specialised target and a massive audience. This is because very often a graphic is the only way to perceive patterns and trends in complex data sets. This course will lead you through the guidelines to use the graphics, maps and diagrams to understand the data and gain attractiveness to the stories behind them.

Iniciación a la infografía y visualización de datos
La visualización de información se ha convertido en una de las herramientas de más rápida expansión en múltiples ámbitos profesionales como la estadística, la investigación científica o el periodismo. Se utiliza para analizar y extraer significado de los datos con el objetivo de comunicarlos tanto a un público especializado como al público en general. El motivo es muy simple: en muchos casos, un gráfico es la única forma de percibir patrones y tendencias en conjuntos complejos de datos e informaciones. En este curso aprenderás los fundamentos que te permitan utilizar los gráficos, mapas o diagramas para entender los datos y aumentar el atractivo de las historias que hay detrás de ellos.
Este curso utiliza la metodología de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
