Worsley Building, LIDA Cluster (11.06) This 1-day interactive course provides a practical introduction to data visualisation with Tableau Desktop, an industry-leading visualization tool. You will learn how to create effective visualisations by avoiding common mistakes and how to use Tableau by creating visualisations that range from bar and line charts to heat maps and geographic maps. You’ll then have the opportunity to apply your knowledge by tackling a series of data analysis ‘challenges’. The majority of the course will involve hands-on practical exercises. Is this course for me? The workshop is open to academic staff and students only, irrespective of their level of knowledge on Tableau. Click on More Information.
