reSolve: Algorithmic thinking – data visualisation
This unit teaches students to use modern tools and methods to describe and find relationships in large, authentic, real-world datasets, including the World Bank Open Data for global development. The unit shows how computer-based information visualisation and data analysis can help us to find and to better understand complex relationships in our world. Activities follow a 'journey of discovery' that interprets raw data by applying different visualisation methods.
