This presentation will serve as an introduction to the open, no-code, half-semester data literacy course which I developed and delivered at Kenyon College, a small liberal arts institution in central Ohio. I'll discuss the somewhat unique circumstances that led to the course proposal, along with the research and planning that went into that proposal. Aside from a brief sketch of the course's planning process, the rest of the session will focus on its implementation and on the materials available for those wishing to replicate or adapt the course.
Participants will:
- Identify the theoretical underpinnings of the course's approach to "data literacy"
- Contextualize the open materials on which the course was built
- Implement their own data literacy course using the shared materials
