elearnspace: Data Visualization
December 11, 2007
Most of my conference presentations over the last two months have focused on information visualization (see this recording from a session I did for elluminate). Visualizing information and data is a key resource to dealing with information overload. When technology manages and displays the relationships between data (does the cognitive grunt work for us), we ramp up to pattern recognition and reflection of implications. Here are a few additional resources I’ve recently come across:Gallery of Data visualizationModern approaches to data visualization16 awesome data visualization toolsDebunking Third world myths with the best stats you’ve ever seen (Hans Rosling – amazing!)New insights into poverty and life around the world (also Hans Rosling, and also amazing).I downloaded two of Rosling’s programs for use during my keynote in Lisbon in July: Dollar Street and World Health Chart…both very addictive tools, great for exploring complex data sets most people would typically walk. Rosling’s company – Gapminder – has since been purchased by Google.
