In this assessment you will develop an interactive data visualisation, using a Tableau, to derive useful insight from a dataset. A successful approach will depend on the nature of your chosen data and the types of questions you set out to answer. For instance, your visualisation might be an information graphic designed for publication on a popular website that tells a factual story around a topic (e.g. changes in third world prosperity over the last decade). Alternatively, your visualisation might be more business-oriented, such as a dashboard designed to help a manager monitor current departmental performance or an analytics tool that helps to inform a key strategic decision. In any case, your final design and implementation will be a composition of multiple views (charts/graphs) presented within a single screen that follows theory and best practice in terms of visual representation, presentation and interaction, as taught in the CS5703/MA5673 classes.

You will demonstrate both module learning outcomes through this assessment. To pass these learning outcomes you need to design and implement an interactive data visualisation using data from a specified domain (e.g. social, business, scientific), which communicates some relevant and non-trivial insight to the user (LO1). You should then critically reflect on the issues faced throughout the process and explaining how you applied theory and technical knowledge to resolve these during design and implementation (LO2). You will start the task by working in a small group where you will discover your data and discuss possible questions around this data. However, the final solution and report should be an individual effort.
