Abstract

How might you use data visualisationData visualisation in your teaching? Here, we offer some ideas, and some provocations to review your teaching. We begin with an invitation to examine some of the historical landmarks in data visualisation (DV), to classify the data presented, and to describe the benefits of a sample of the DV to users. Early uses of DV by Nightingale and Neurath are shown, to provide examples of DV which communicated the need for action, and provoked social change. A number of modern DVs are presented, categorised as: tools to display individual data sets and tools for the exploration of specific rich data sets. We argue that students introduced to the core features of Civic Statistics can acquire skills in all of the facets of Civic Statistics set out in Chap. 3 . We conclude by revisiting Herschel, to provoke thoughts about the balance of activities appropriate to statistics courses.
