teaching material used for the "Data Storytelling" credit seminar for students on degree courses organised by the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science of the University of Trento academic year 2023/2024
Data plays a crucial role in modern society, yet it remains exclusive as it requires specific skills for processing, understanding, and representing it effectively.
Data storytelling is a methodology that utilizes narratives to help readers comprehend a phenomenon by representing and analyzing data. This course aims to teach learners this methodology, enabling them to create websites that use a combination of visualizations and text to tell stories based on data. The goal is to empower readers to independently identify additional
narratives.
The course will adopt a "hands-on learning" approach, allowing participants to immediately apply the concepts they learn. By the end of the course, individuals will be proficient in crafting data-driven stories and creating web tools to enhance the user experience.
