Course details

We are wired for story. We crave it. Storytelling has played an integral role in our ability to make progress as a species. It should come as no surprise, then, that presenting data and information in story form maximizes the effectiveness of our communication. We can create deeper emotional responses in our audience when we present data in story form.

Join data visualization expert Bill Shander as he guides you through the process of turning "facts and figures" into "story" to engage and fulfill our human expectation for information. This course is intended for anyone who works with data and has to communicate it to others, whether a researcher, a data analyst, a consultant, a marketer, or a journalist. Bill shows you how to think about, and craft, stories from data by examining many compelling stories in detail.

    Constant need of pause to think and reflect: continuously battered with content and concepts with no time to reflect on what is being presented. Easy to understand the instructor knows the stuff - but I guess could improve on delivery. Videos are too long and too much concepts/ideas per video

    I like this course because it helps us improve our thought process using journalist examples, Sankey diagrams, data, and much more. It was amazing to see Nicholas Felton’s approach to connecting with the audience by tracking personal metrics over time. The overall storytelling approach, focusing on the transformation of a key character or element, was great. I also appreciated the involvement of comparing and contrasting elements in a story. I learned that storytelling is often linear and can be time-driven, though not always. The KWYs are also nice aspects to consider before preparing the next data insights for stakeholders.
