(Storytelling mit Daten)

Number
std
ECTS 2.0
Level Intermediate
Content Data alone can sometimes be dry, lifeless and incomprehensible. In order to bring it closer to a specific target audience, it must be prepared in a suitable form, structured in a coherent manner and communicated in an appealing way. The understanding of content-related assertions and analytical results depends decisively on how they are communicated. In "storytelling", the focus is on developing catchy, convincing and audience-friendly forms of communication for data. A data set and its components should be packed into a story, provided with a message and thus brought to life.
