Aims and objectives

This unit prepares students to explore a range of techniques and technologies to develop narratives and visualisations of different types of data. These types of data could include open data sets, business, industrial or scientific. Students will undertake the process of collecting and cleansing the data, apply appropriate models and algorithms to achieve a set that is suitable for visualisation.
