By taking this module, you will be able to gain access to a wide range of data sources, and then to transform this data into compelling visualisations and plots.

You will learn how to convert a data source into a visual story, where you will reveal and present the structure of the data. You will also learn how to publish your data visualisations on the web, such that your work is available to others.
