MIS771 Descriptive Analytics and Visualisation

Assignment Deliverables via WordPress

The assignment consists of two main sections (web pages): Process and Solution (accessible via the LasVegas Project menu in the WordPress template). You are required to complete both parts.

A) Process Component

You are required to complete this section by completing four pre-set web pages under the process menu. Content presented here should be written in ‘professional’ language and must cover the following four aspects:

1) Describe the Audience for your Data Visualisation

Describe the audience of the Data Visualisation you intend to create. This section should include a general description of the persona, questions they want to be answered, actions/outcomes your dashboard will be supporting, and the feeling you would like to convey.

2) Identify Data Elements

Using what you have learnt in the lectures and tutorials, first please describe each column in the dataset (note: you should describe all columns regardless of whether you will ultimately use them in your visualisation or not). Then classify the data (example, Categorical, Numerical: Discrete, Continuous / Scales of measurements: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio / Time/Date, Location).

3) Describe at a high level what types of charts you might use to display the data.

Based on the data types you described earlier in this section, along with the objectives of the persona you described, describe what charts and visualisations do you think might work well to communicate the information.

4) Finally, describe any data ethics considerations there with the data you intend to use.

Describe any considerations you think you should keep in mind while developing and sharing your visualisation.
