Data Literacy Module 4: Visualizing Data

Data literacy is the ability to read, understand, work with, analyze, and argue with data. It is also the ability to derive meaningful information from data. Data literacy is not simply the ability to read text since it requires quantitative and analytical skills (for example: mathematical and statistical) involving reading and understanding data. Hence, with increased data literacy, one will be able to produce more insightful and evidence-based stories.

This program has been localized to meet the local context of Thailand. EWMI-ODI and training team would like to express gratitude to the original program of  World Bank’s Data Literacy Program, and advisors who supported the curriculum improvement for Thailand. 

This component will introduce the basics of effective communication with data visualization, focusing on best practices in visually communicating data, emphasizing on techniques and tools that could be used to convey knowledge and information through visual stories, not just dry statistics. Participants will be trained in a handful of data visualization and dashboard software including Datawrapper, Flourish, and Google Data Studio or Tableau.

The Open Development Data Literacy training materials are based on the original Introduction to the Data Literacy training manual by Eva Constantaras developed under the Sudan Evidence-Base Program (EBP), a partnership among the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID), and the World Bank. The Myanmar version of the manual was localized by Yan Naung Oak and Phandeeyar, with support from United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO),Australian Aid, Ministry of Foriegn Affairs of Denmark, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland. The Cambodia version of the manual was localized by Yan Oak and Open Development Cambodia, with support from USAID's Cambodia Civil Society Strengthening Project. Additional modules and materials for this version were included to provide greater context to differing thematic issues and needs within the Mekong, including Indigenous Data Sovereignty and applications such as MAPEO with the support of Digital Democracy, developed by Saowalak Jingjunvisut and Open Development Mekong, with support from Voices for Mekong Forests Project and other donors.The materials are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
