Evaluarás cómo trabajan juntos los datos y el diseño, incluida la forma de elegir la representación visual adecuada para tus datos y la diferencia entre imágenes efectivas e ineficaces. Aplicarás principios efectivos de diseño de mejores prácticas a tus visualizaciones de datos y podrá ilustrar ejemplos de uso estratégico del contraste para resaltar elementos importantes. Evaluarás los atributos preatentivos y por qué son importantes en las visualizaciones. Examinarás la importancia de usar la cantidad "correcta" de color y en el lugar correcto y podrás aplicar los principios de diseño para ordenar tu visualización de datos.

What You Will Learn

Examinar y mejorar una visualización ineficaz.
Aplicar las mejores prácticas de visualización
Crear y diseñar visualizaciones que funcionen mejor para el público objetivo

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Descubriendo imágenes eficaces e ineficaces
En este primer módulo, vamos a comenzar con información básica sobre cómo el cerebro humano percibe el mundo y luego descubrirás imágenes eficaces e ineficaces. Al final de este módulo, podrás reconocer cómo se relaciona el cerebro con el diseño visual. Conocerás la diferencia entre el diseño cognitivo versus el diseño perceptivo. Aprenderás las diversas opciones de visualización que ofrece Tableau y algunas de sus ventajas y desventajas. Discutirás por qué las buenas prácticas éticas juegan en el diseño de visualizaciones. También comenzarás a examinar visualizaciones ineficaces y aprenderá a mejorarlas.

WEEK 2
Percepción visual y carga cognitiva
En este módulo explorarás conceptos específicos de la visualización de datos que aplican los conceptos aprendidos en el módulo anterior sobre cómo funciona el cerebro humano. Podrás definir la carga cognitiva y lo que significa el desorden desde una perspectiva de la visualización. Podrás ilustrar visualmente los principios de la percepción visual y utilizar el contraste para mejorar tus visualizaciones. Podrás definir y utilizar atributos preatentivos como el color para realizar visualizaciones efectivas.

WEEK 3
Diseño de las mejores prácticas
En este módulo, revisarás algunos de los conceptos introducidos en el módulo anterior. Podrás aplicar los principios de Gestalt y aprovechar los atributos de atención previa en tus visualizaciones. Examinarás el papel de la accesibilidad y la estética en tus creaciones.

WEEK 4
Diseñar para comprender
Después de completar este módulo, podrás diseñar tus visualizaciones para un público objetivo y con un propósito. Podrás identificar la conexión entre datos, relaciones y un buen diseño visual. Implementarás herramientas de diseño y obtendrás consejos adicionales en tus visualizaciones.

Welcome to Excel Power Tools for Data Analysis. In this four-week course, we introduce Power Query, Power Pivot and Power BI, three power tools for transforming, analysing and presenting data. Excel's ease and flexibility have long made it a tool of choice for doing data analysis, but it does have some inherent limitations: for one, truly "big" data simply does not fit in a spreadsheet and for another, the process of importing and cleaning data can be a repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone.

Business analysts need to be able to prescribe optimal solution to problems. But analytics courses are often focused on training students in data analysis and visualization, not so much in helping them figure out how to take the available data and pair that with the right mathematical model to formulate a solution. This course is designed to connect data and models to real world decision-making scenarios in manufacturing, supply chain, finance, human resource management, etc. In particular, we understand how linear optimization - a prescriptive analytics method - can be used to formulate decision problems and provide data-based optimal solutions.

By the end of this course, learners are provided a high-level overview of data analysis and visualization tools, and are prepared to discuss best practices and develop an ensuing action plan that addresses key discoveries. It begins with common hurdles that obstruct adoption of a data-driven culture before introducing data analysis tools (R software, Minitab, MATLAB, and Python). Deeper examination is spent on statistical process control (SPC), which is a method for studying variation over time. The course also addresses do’s and don’ts of presenting data visually, visualization software (Tableau, Excel, Power BI), and creating a data story.
