Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, emphasizing the importance of data management, sharing, preservation, and re-use, bringing together enthusiasts, students, educators, and professionals to foster a community that appreciates and cultivates data literacy.
Unlocking the Power of Data with Sage Campus
Sage Campus courses are meticulously constructed to address various aspects of data literacy and cater to both beginners and those aiming to refine their data skills. During Love Data Week, let's explore some key Sage Campus courses that are essential for developing a profound understanding of data:
See Numbers in Data
Numeracy is an essential part of data literacy. Understanding numbers and their relationships is crucial in interpreting data accurately. The See Numbers in Data course empowers learners to read, interpret, and produce tables and graphs, and covers central tendency, spread and dispersion, and scientific notation.
Analyze Qualitative Data
Finding a theme is at the heart of qualitative research and brings together smaller categories or ideas that represent significant trends in qualitative data. The course on Analyze Qualitative Data teaches the skills in understanding and evaluating individual data. Learn effective coding approaches, categorization techniques, and theme extraction methods for proficient data analysis.
Introduction to R
The skill of managing, organizing and presenting data is pivotal for any data-driven discipline. Introduction to R guides learners through the intricacies of R programming — an essential tool for data organization and analysis that has become a staple in data science.
Statistical Significance
To decipher what data indicates and to make informed conclusions, researchers must understand statistical significance. Statistical Significance explores the foundations of statistical significance, p-values, and confidence intervals in social science research to understand how they are calculated, and how their origin lies in the way we use samples to measure and investigate people, organizations and societies.
Introduction to Data Visualization
Articulating data findings and translating them into understandable formats are crucial in sharing knowledge. Introduction to Data Visualization explores effective techniques for visually representing data, ensuring that your insights resonate with and are comprehensible to any audience.
Supporting Data Literacy teaching
We understand that teaching data literacy is important to you and your institution. Library instruction services such as data literacy training and workshops are a great way to teach these skills but are time-consuming and may not be accessible to all, particularly off-campus or working professional students. With Sage Campus, you can assign courses as self-paced alternatives to your training, or as additional resources where learners can practice and hone their skills to scale up their training. This also enables you to save precious library instructor time for the more expert or applied questions students may have.
Similarly, Faculty can assign our data literacy, data analytics and data science courses in teaching and get full visibility of students’ progress, or simply recommend them as 'extra reading' for skills and research methods presented in a more engaging, interactive method.
