SLIG Tech Day Highlight: Data Visualization Practicum


Learn data visualization techniques with Ron Arons at SLIG's Tech Day.

Modeled after the SLIG Advanced Practicum, this session will provide attendees with a set of data to be worked into a data visualization. After a 15-20 minute lecture covering the concepts and theory behind data visualization, Ron will explain the basics steps of using two free DV software programs that run on PCs and Macs (a third program will be taught if time permits). The remainder of time will be spent working on a specific problem provided by either the instructor or one of the participants. (Participants should be at the intermediate to advanced level in their technical/software skills. Mind mapping experience is preferred but not required.)

Past students have indicated that Ron's sense of humor and expertise provided them with new ideas for using the software and great examples for how it can be applied to genealogy.

Registration opens on September 15th!
