Welcome to the course "How to Tell a Story with Data". If you've ever had to explain complex data to others or if you're interested in improving how you talk about data, this course is perfect for you.
Data are everywhere. Data are used by businesses to make decisions, by governments to create policies, and by researchers to understand the world around us. But data can be hard to understand -- and even harder to explain to others.
This is why being able to explain data in a simple, easy-to-understand way is so important. This skill is called data storytelling. This course will help improve your skills at data storytelling.
In this course, you will learn how to keep your audience interested, whether they're in front of you or reading your words on a page. You'll learn tips and tricks on how to explain the main points of your data graphs in a way that's easy to understand and remember.
But why learn data storytelling?
We live in a world full of data. Businesses, governments, and researchers use data to make important decisions. But understanding this data can be hard. This is where data storytelling comes in.
Data storytelling helps us understand and remember data. It's a skill that's becoming more and more important as we use more data in our everyday lives. This course will help you improve your data storytelling skills.
So, what will you get from this course?
Simply put, this course will give you a framework that you can use to make your data exciting and memorable to your audience. You'll also get lots of tips on how to make and present data graphics.

I am a full-time educator and writer, and former professor of neuroscience. I "retired" from that position so I could focus my time and energy creating high-quality educational material just for you.I have 20 years of experience teaching programming, data analysis, signal processing, statistics, linear algebra, and experiment design. I've taught undergraduate students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and full professors....
This course is a nice introduction to creating a presentation based on data. I appreciated learning about helpful (and some free) applications to support presenting data in visually appealing ways. There were a few problematic comments that distracted from the presentation and don't add value. For example, suggesting discriminatory jokes are not appropriate in professional settings because they may be misinterpreted as though they may be appropriate elsewhere.
Well put together course. 5 would need better slideware and a better use of voice (bit monotone)
La clase es muy completa, y con términos sencillos de comprender. Los materiales adicionales y las referencias son muy interesantes.
Amazing experience and learning story telling with data
Thus far the presenter seems add excitement and interest when presenting data.
It was a good experience.
A great story telling about using data for story telling. Highly recommended course for everyone.
As a Data Scientist that prepares data presentations on a regular basis, I found this course to be a good encapsulation of important "do's and don'ts" for anyone presenting data (which is ANYONE giving a presentation, sooner or later, correct?). Not only techniques, but ethics of data presentation are covered by Mike Cohen. For CONSUMERS of such presentations there is value in awareness of how data can best be presented; supervisors can use this knowledge to assist their subordinates in improving the team's presentation skills, and senior leaders can become better consumers by knowing the gems (and pitfalls) that may be in a presentation.
It relates to what i do daily and gives one a good perspective on how they read data
