Data visualization is not a new concept but using this form of visual communication in learning, research and presenting is gaining a lot of momentum. In this workshop you will learn why visual communication is so important and more about the tools that will be supported by the Brock University Digital Scholarship Lab. You will also learn how these tools can streamline your research methods and engage an audience. The ability to effectively apply data visualization and to use tools such as PowerBI, Tableau, ArcGIS Pro and Voyant are employable skills that will enrich your resume. This workshop is intended to spark your curiosity and provide more insight into exciting digital scholarship methods.

This workshop is open to anyone and beginners are welcome!

The Digital Scholarship Lab is home to next generation research at Brock University, offering diverse and robust support across all disciplines. A place where exploration, learning and discovery intersect.  At the Brock Digital Scholarship Lab we offer support and participate in collaborative initiatives in the following areas:

  • High Performance Computing
  • Data Visualization
  • Finding and Using Data
  • Innovation
  • Developing Digital Projects

In addition to being one of several learning spaces on campus, the DSL is supported by multiple partners, including: SHARCNET, Compute Canada, and Brock ITS.  Digital scholarship is by its nature collaborative, multi-disciplinary and draws upon a broad range of expertise from across librarianship, research data management, data visualization, data processing, digital preservation, and digital pedagogy. The DSL is a hub to explore, discover, create, and play with data and visual tools, methods, and objects, and to contribute that knowledge back to the community.
