After decades of dancing between a natural affinity for engineering and an insatiable obsession with visual aesthetics, I\u2019ve recently landed in the professional field of data visualization. If there\u2019s one proficiency I\u2019m missing in the array of skills needed to work as a data visualizer, it is most certainly storytelling. I received the opportunity to take the online course Data Visualization: Storytelling<\/em> with delight, and I wasn\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data Visualization: Storytelling<\/em><\/a> is a 1.5 hour course on LinkedIn\u2019s smart education platform, which delivers content previously found on Lynda.com. If you decide to take it, you\u2019ll be guided through the why\u2019s and how\u2019s of data storytelling by data visualization expert Bill Shander<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you\u2019d hope, the story arc of this course is elegantly structured, demonstrating in itself many of the methodologies presented in its content. The course videos, which are the primary mode of delivery, accompany the instructor’s voice with relevant, quality visual material and interactive transcripts. I hadn\u2019t used LinkedIn Learning before, and I was pleasantly surprised by the user experience. There are a few nice additional features such as sections for personal notes, discussions with the course leader and other attendees, and a list of recommended courses to aid you in continuing your learning journey. Most importantly, the primary functions (video and transcripts) worked flawlessly for me across all my devices, allowing me to digest the course content with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of the four main sections of the course – \u201cWhy Storytelling?\u201d – makes a compelling argument for why we, as data communicators, should care about storytelling, as well as defining situations when it isn\u2019t needed (for example, when the content is \u201creader driven,\u201d as in a dashboard). The following two sections, full of case studies, progressively reveal the theory and application of \u201cStory Structure\u201d and \u201cStory Mechanisms.\u201d I found this to be very well paced. The \u201cFinal Touches\u201d delivered in section four effectively wrap up the ideas and include many tips for data visualization best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who it’s for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis course is intended for anyone who works with data and has to communicate it to others.\u201d<\/p>course description on LinkedIn Learning<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The course is designated as intermediate, but I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend it to anyone with an interest in the topic. I believe that the content is structured in such a way that beginners could gain an insightful overview from it. Taking the course doesn’t require any technical knowledge or skill. I encourage you to give it a listen even if it would be your first encounter with data communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, those who  are actively working in data communication would probably benefit most from the course, because they would be able to apply the techniques to real life problems. This is not a beginner course offering in-depth training on data analysis or visualization. It’s a guide to the specific practice of data storytelling, which encompasses a number of related but often separate professions. As a designer and engineer of data visualizations, I found it gave me insights into the thought processes an analyst might undertake, and I recognized many that I undertake in my work. It was useful for me to see them knitted together through the overarching framework of storytelling. Moreover, I was left convinced that I should invest more energy into refining this essential craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The time investment, at 93 minutes, is nothing short of a bargain. Of course, there are likely to be sections you\u2019ll want to re-listen to and times you\u2019ll want to pause to read the transcript, make notes, or dig deeper into specific topics and case studies. All in all, I spent around three hours with the material, and I expect I\u2019ll go back to it again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also feel that the LinkedIn Learning platform is well worth its financial investment. Many organizations offer it to their students and employees free of charge, but if you find yourself needing to pay, it is included in the LinkedIn premium subscription, which offers a one-month free trial and both monthly and annual plans. Membership gives you access to thousands of on-demand courses \u201ctaught by real world professionals,\u201d like Bill. You can get more information, or subscribe, at www.linkedin.com\/learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it delivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This course is a valuable resource for establishing or refining the craft of data storytelling. It is high-level and wide-reaching in application, yet absolutely not superficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShort and unbelievably insightful course which does not give you a set of Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts but gets you thinking\u201d<\/p>Course participant Saloni Yadav, via LinkedIn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I came away having learned a bunch of new terminology and methodologies, as well as with much food for thought. For such a short and pleasant course, I was very impressed with how much rich material it covered. If I can harness the material, I am confident that my data communication work will be more effective as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
