Do you struggle to tell a compelling story through data visualization? Data is everywhere and charts and data graphics have never been easier to make\, thanks to programs like Excel and Tableau. But as you may have experienced in your own work\, designing elegant charts that tell a clear story can be surprisingly challenging! \nFortunately\, we can borrow lessons from cognitive brain science and graphic design best practice to help us improve the way we display data to our audiences. This short course will provide you with some quick pointers and tips to help you improve your charts and graphics design. In this mini-workshop\, you will learn to: \n\nRecognize common chart design pitfalls\nUse handy tricks to “cut the clutter” from charts and focus your audience’s attention\nThink about every element of chart as part of a clear story\n\nAbout the Speaker\nKarina Heim is the Coastal Training Program Coordinator at Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve\, and a data viz enthusiast. She first became enamored with the art of clean chartmaking in graduate school where she realized that every graph and table can stand alone and tell its own story if it is designed well. Later\, Karina applied lessons and best practices of data viz design in her work as a comprehensive plan writer\, revising public documents to reflect current data trends in a clear\, accessible way. In her current position\, she works with decision-makers in the Lake Superior basin on coastal issues\, where important ideas are spoken through data all of the time. Karina is originally from Fairbanks\, Alaska and lived in the western United States for several years before landing in the Midwest. She has a professional background in land use planning and program coordination. \n[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content] URL:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/event/the-art-of-the-chart-simple-tips-to-improve-your-data-viz-game-2/ LOCATION:Virtual Training CATEGORIES:Coastal Training Program,General ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/319/2021/10/art-of-chart-event.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Karina Heim":MAILTO:karina.heim@wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220112T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220112T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T043744 CREATED:20211013T155504Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211013T160919Z UID:3198-1642014000-1642017600@lakesuperiornerr.org SUMMARY:Spirit Island in the St. Louis River DESCRIPTION:[cs_content][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_inset=”0px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_inset=”0px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ _bp_base=”3_4″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” _bp_base=”3_4″ style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ _bp_base=”3_4″ type=”1/1″ class=”cs-ta-left” style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Event Details[/x_custom_headline][cs_text _bp_base=”3_4″]Spirit Island in the St. Louis River\, 7 p.m.\, presentation by Jeff Savage\, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content] URL:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/event/spirit-island-in-the-st-louis-river/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:General ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/319/2017/09/sea-grant-lake-superior-reserve-river-talks.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Deanna Erickson":MAILTO:deanna.erickson@wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220106T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220106T114500 DTSTAMP:20260406T043744 CREATED:20211018T195919Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211018T203822Z UID:3214-1641463200-1641469500@lakesuperiornerr.org SUMMARY:Fostering Behavior Change in Coastal Communities DESCRIPTION:[cs_content][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_inset=”0px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_inset=”0px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ _bp_base=”3_4″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” _bp_base=”3_4″ style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ _bp_base=”3_4″ type=”1/1″ class=”cs-ta-left” style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Event Details[/x_custom_headline][cs_text _bp_base=”3_4″] \nFostering Behavior Change in Coastal Communities\nPam Kylstra\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management \nThursday\, January 6\, 2022\n10:00-11:45am CT/11:00am-12:45pm ET\nCapacity: 45 \nRegister for Course \nTake this course if you… \n\nWork on behavior change campaigns in your community.\nWould like to understand what motivates people to change.\n\nAbout the Course \nThis one-and-a-half-hour\, interactive course introduces participants to an effective approach for coastal management projects to influence the way people interact with their environment.

Unfortunately\, because of their popularity\, many people untrained in survey creation administer poorly designed surveys that yield questionable results. This workshop serves to provide coastal managers and environmental professionals with best practices to write more effective survey questions. If your background is not in the social sciences but you nonetheless find yourself in the position of crafting surveys\, this workshop is for you!\nWorkshop attendees will learn how to: \n Review and critique surveys\, and identify common mistakes in question design\n Incorporate 25 best practices when creating survey questions\n Create appropriate question layout and design\n Identify ways to improve survey questions that yield desired data types \nAbout the Speakers\nChris Ellis\, PhD\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nChris is a social scientist with NOAA’s National Ocean Service\, based in Charleston\, SC. His training is in environmental sociology\, survey design and implementation\, recreation and tourism choice behavior\, organizational behavioral networks\, and social-psychological interaction with the coast.
