Data Visualization by Hand (McNamara, 2021) by Jeff Beaudry https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi Please post your reflections and responses to the reading prompts. en-us 2021-11-11 13:58:23 UTC 2025-12-01 22:02:59 UTC hello@padlet.com Mar-E's Data Use mtrebilcock3 https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1886917058 I am most likely to use student achievement data sets in my work, as well as social-emotional self-reported data (e.g. the MIYHS biannual data). Displaying student growth data using handmade methods is something we do with our students. They graph their progress toward academic goals and monitor their progress over time. This helps the students to see where they are on the learning continuum and where they are headed. I also show staff school-wide data sets displayed graphically using the RtI pyramid. It is an easy way to show overall trends in our students' progress toward literacy and math standards.]]> 2021-11-12 15:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1886917058 Mar-E's Learning About Data Visualization mtrebilcock3 https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1886921687 One thing I learned about data visualization is that handmade visualizations “can be a great way to convey uncertainty.” This is because they feel less “truthy.” This idea was reflected in the article with some of the examples of data sets displayed in creative ways, like “How Much Pee Is a Lot of Pee?” for example. This display provides a clear context for the different levels in an accessible manner.]]> 2021-11-12 15:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1886921687 Jen's One Thing https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1888590165 “One of their key findings is that visualisations are personal. Often, we imagine that we can generate an idealised representation of a particular dataset, but everyone comes to our visualisations with their own identity and prior beliefs. For certain groups, a visualisation may work well, and for others not at all” (p.11). McNamara brings attention to the challenges associated with representing data for diverse audiences. As a researcher, I need to think about my intended audience and how to best represent the story within my data. I lack artistic abilities so I struggle to conceptualize using this technique within my own research but I do agree that “computer-generated visualisations feel sterile and can be inaccessible to certain audiences” (p. 6). ]]> 2021-11-13 22:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1888590165 Jen's Data Use https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1888590572 I facilitate our school’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports meetings, which requires me to consistently represent data to identify struggling students and then determine the targeted support needed for each student. Data includes risks such as absences, credits status, course failures; assets such as involvement in school, value of school, outside support; and interventions that are already in place. The data is displayed on a Google Sheet with each student representing a row along the continuum of factors identified within the categories: Risks, Assets, Interventions and Point Person. I would not consider the data set to be visually appealing and instead pragmatic in nature. My intended audience includes 80 faculty members and our clinical staff. Given the limited amount of time we have to discuss each student, I favor efficiency and primarily use the data for problem-solving purposes. However, I do wonder if my approach resonates with all teachers given the “sterile” format. Perhaps this is worth further consideration.]]> 2021-11-13 22:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1888590572 Jennifer's one thing learned jennifer947 https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889528418 One thing I learned was the benefit of conveying uncertainty through the method or representation of data. I had previously thought that one of the benefits of data analysis is that you can finally actually KNOW something. And while I still think that is true, meaning that you do in fact know what you know, what you do know is, in fact, uncertain or at least possibly much more nuanced than what you are representing. I would think there are times to be precise: rocket engineering, and times to be perhaps less precise: reflecting self-reported behavior across time. Hand-drawing can convey "fuzziness," but as the author said, hand-drawing can also be very precise. If I were to use drawing by hand in order to convey some level of uncertainty, I'd choose methods and media that align to produce the intended level of "gray." For example, I might not even use black ink - choosing gray or a range of softer colors within a narrow hue band would convey subtlety through the breathability of the transitions between colors. Or I might use pastels instead of sharpened pencils. I'm looking forward to trying this out!]]> 2021-11-14 18:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889528418 Jennifer's Data Use jennifer947 https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889534324 I don't tend to create or represent data that much in my day-to-day work. I do consume data, mostly in the form of student outcomes and behaviors like attendance, enrollment, and testing outcomes. I've not created any data visualizations in my current role. However, I've played with a tool for stakeholder mapping, that is a sort of data visualization. It's pretty neat in that you type in people or organizations and specify roles or relationships and the app connects the dots, so to speak. I can change the colors or sizes of the elements to make more clear specific information. This is a longterm project for me, so I don't have a lot of experience with it. But it certainly has helped me see big picture relationships. It is called Kumu.
I've also used a tool produced by Cortico to analyze focus group conversations. It highlights the words that are spoken the most and visually connects the speakers who used it. This gives a quick visual for which words were spoken most and if they were spoken by one person or all participants. ]]> 2021-11-14 18:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889534324 Brian's One Thing brianjclark https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889571752 I thought “…the most important thing is to give a truthful impression of the data. And the most technically correct visualizations may not always be the best way to convey that impression” is an incredibly important point (p. 7). I do a lot of digital data visualization at work and am constantly struggling with the best way to represent data visually to make a persuasive case and that is true to the data. Visualizations help tell a story.]]> 2021-11-14 19:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889571752 brianjclark https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889572685 I use a tremendous amount of data in my work, including descriptive institutional statistics (e.g., enrollment, demographics, salaries, etc.); institutional reports (e.g., financial statements, common data sets); internal and external survey data (e.g., climate survey, voluntary support of education survey, College Board, Academic Insights (U.S. News), etc.); state and federal data (e.g., Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (IPEDS), College Scorecard, U.S. Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, etc.); local data (e.g., registry of deeds, assessor’s office data, tax rolls, etc.).

My office maintains key institutional data metrics, which are computer-generated charts and graphics. Most of them take the form of either bar charts or line charts. Some financial indicators are displayed using pie charts (e.g., revenue and expenses).

When developing Colby’s strategic plan, I used visualizations to represent the core elements of the plan so they could be easily conveyed and understood. I still am known for my “donut" (see attached file).

This is important information, as it drives our recruitment strategies, and it ensures that the students being admitted to various graduate programs have the necessary academic background to ensure success in the program.]]> 2021-11-14 19:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1889576858 Michelle's one thing learned... michelleconners https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1892941280 On page 11 it says that research is being done to, “study how different groups interpret data visualizations differently”. It never occurred to me that something that was visual could be interpreted differently. It also continued to say that they are “personal”. This is my first foray into learning about data visualizations as opposed to just being a consumer of them and I find it fascinating. ]]> 2021-11-16 02:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1892941280 Michelle's use in professional work michelleconners https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1892943137 I use so much data in my work and often do create data visualizations which makes it even more enlightening to learn that people interpret visualizations differently. Data that I frequently use and create a visualization for is the money saved by shared materials. For example, we take a slip that lists all the materials someone has checked out and show how much the total cost would be if they were to buy all of them instead. As a nonprofit we also try to show where our different revenue sources come from when we are asking for donations so we’ll break this down into a classic pie chart. ]]> 2021-11-16 02:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1892943137 Mara's learning about data visualization marasanchez2 https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1894948283 One thing I learned about is the Bertin matrix, or reorderable matrix.

Right now, actually, we are finishing up a report about an initiative that we created last spring with the onset of COVID, to reduce numbers of youth incarcerated in Maine. For that report, we looked at how many youth were referred to the initiative, and demographics on those youth, as well as collected a lot of qualitative data from people involved in the initiative. For this report, I wanted to create visualizations for both the data and some of the concepts. That process is done as a team. One data visualization that I was a big part of was a continuum of care model graphic that we use a lot. It's meant to generate conversation and understanding about systems and incremental response. ]]> 2021-11-16 19:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1894967676 Shane https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1895575942 I use data representations to compare semester to semester and year to year conduct code violations. I do this for alcohol, marijuana, and academic dishonesty violations because these are the three most common violations we see at UNE. I use a simple bar chart to show the variations from semester to semester and have used these to discuss with my staff what trends we noticed in the most recent semester in overall student behavior and culture and how this may have impacted the number of each type of violation. ]]> 2021-11-17 01:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1895575942 Shane's one thing https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1895630256 While there was a lot of great information in this article, one thing that I found particulatly interesting was the discussion of bar charts vs. pie charts. I have used both to represent data recently and I didn't realize that our perception of area was not very good. It makes me want to reconsider my use of pie charts. I usually use them when trying to show that one or two things are more prevalent than the other things in a group. I think in the future I will consider other ways to represent this kind of data and the possibility of using a hand-drawn representation. ]]> 2021-11-17 01:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1895630256 Mella's More Than One Thing mellamccormick https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1897021614 I had several big ‘take-aways’ from the Data Visualization by Hand article. In particular, the idea of viewing data visualization as an autobiography; what a fascinating and relatable way to look at and understand information! It would never have occurred to me that you can tell a story about yourself, or others through bar graphs, pie charts or a matrix.

Other key points that resonated with me included:

o “One important component of visualisation is attention -- a person can't read and understand a visual unless they pay attention to it.”

While this seems like a rather obvious point, I feel it can’t be overstated enough. Based off our two recent visits to the Osher Map Library, I was genuinely shocked to discover how much the visual materials demanded my undivided attention in order to garner even a sliver of the information that was being communicated. I have come to realize that visualized data is a truly participatory activity.

o “Often, the most important thing is to give a truthful impression of the data.”

So simple, and yet can be so difficult to do. Especially when dealing with multiple data sets, sensitive subject matter (such as racism), or lengthy longitudinal studies.

o Often, we imagine that we can generate an idealised representation of a particular dataset, but everyone comes to our visualisations with their own identity and prior beliefs.”

I believe this statement is true for anything we produce whether it is written, visual, performance, etc. This makes it even more important to be cognizant of your audience and to try to view your own work through someone else’s eyes as a way to ‘auto correct’ for over-idealized or exaggerated representations.

To do this, it will be important that I collect the following data:

1. Quantitative data in the form of a survey to university faculty asking the following questions:

a. What is your understanding of experiential learning?

b. Do you use experiential learning in your teaching?

c. If so, how?

d. If not, why?

2. Qualitative data in the form of interviews with university faculty asking the following questions:

a. How do you view your academic discipline? What is its primary focus? What does it aim to do?

b. As a student, how was your discipline taught to you?

c. As an instructor, how do you teach your discipline?

This article offered an interesting perspective regarding how reverting to hand-drawn infographics might be considered a strength, increasing the possibilities to tell a story with your data, bringing you closer to it as you work through presenting it in a creative way - and also offering the opportunity to meet your audience where they are at to maximize the possibility that they will effectively connect and interpret the data, considering their prior knowledge, beliefs, and their identity.]]> 2021-11-17 18:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1897736772 Emily Z. emily_zider https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1897766280 In my role as Coordinator of Education Abroad, I have been relying heavily on visual data during the pandemic when researching and compiling country data to assess risks associated with different study abroad locations, such as trends in COVID numbers in a particular area, identifying hot spots within a region, vaccination rates, and health care capacity considerations.

In clinical work, we reference this as a person's narrative. My brain is struggling to make this connection - that visual data can offer autobiographical information. I am not sure if I am missing a few firing neurons today or being thick-headed or what... I am struggling to see how this might be applied. I am especially curious about how this could be applied in individual client work... We sometimes ask clients to do homework...I wonder what would happen if/when I asked someone to tell me their life story using visual data? Maybe I am being too concrete?

Also... there was something I was confused by... There is one section of the article where it reflects on a handful of reasons when someone might choose or want to rely on hand-drawn data visualization. One of the points listed was that when data is represented in this fashion, it appears less 'truthy' -- Aren't we trying to accomplish the opposite when representing data? Aren't we trying to describe something specific? ]]> 2021-11-18 17:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1900158253 Terri - Data Use terrireiter https://padlet.com/jeffreybeaudry/uqw69dleclp4bzzi/wish/1900248438 Ironically I do not generate a tremendous amount of data in my day to day responsibilities. However, I review and analyze lots of different kinds of institutional data, including demographics, frequency of accessed services, institutional data, types of reported challenges, identified barriers to completion/frequency etc. Unfortunately I have very little experience creating visual data sets. I use our software tools to run queries and I share those out with teams. However, I have never had the time needed for me to actually learn how to present data differently - using software. I am not a natural techie, sadly! I wish it came easier and I was not so daunted at the thought of diving in. I seem to always be up against time restraints so I defer to the boring & simplistic ways that I know to bring data to the table. Sigh. I suppose there is no time like the present to learn?

We live in a world where digitally generated graphics are automatically seen as higher quality, but this article made me question the efficacy of data representations in general. Is the intent to educate and inform the audience? Or is the intent to create high-level data visuals? At times, these high-level representations can be difficult for a general audience to digest. In short, data visualizations should be dictated by the target audience and be culturally relevant.

We develop data reports to aid in the evaluation of state funded programs, specifically, the SUD HUB Program. We use monthly budget reports, GRPA completion rates, new client calls, rate of referral, and other factors to generate data visualizations for the State Opioid Response Team. In other project areas we take federal legislation, mandates, or polices, and develop public-facing documents that are easy to understand. As an example, we are currently working with NH DHHS to develop materials for the end of the Public Health Emergency in regard to Medicaid eligibly and redeterminations.
