SUMMARY:The Art of the Chart: Simple Tips to Improve Your Data Viz Game
DESCRIPTION:Take this course if you… \n\nTurn data into charts for public audiences.\nSpend a lot of time trying to make charts ‘easy to understand’ – and look good!\n\nAbout the Course \nHave you ever felt that your charts are cluttered or confusing for your audience? 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.

Community-based social marketing uses a five-step approach and a set of tools to elicit behavior change in specific audiences in order to address environmental and social problems. \nParticipants will learn how to: \n\nIdentify the steps involved in community-based social marketing projects\nDescribe how the approach can improve project design\nPractice applying the first three steps of the method\nExplain key considerations in applying steps 4 and 5\, piloting and implementing the strategy\nDescribe common tools used in this approach to foster behavior change\nBecome familiar with examples of social marketing applied to coastal management issues\n\nAbout the Speaker\nPam Kylstra\, is a program development specialist with the NOAA Office for Coastal Management. Through training and coaching\, she builds capacity for project planning\, conducting collaborative processes\, and managing visitor impact. She serves as an evaluator of coastal programs and National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR)\, and provides facilitation services for the coastal resource management community\, including Sea Grant\, NERRs\, and other federal\, state\, and local agencies and organizations. Pam enjoys exploring coastlines and working with coastal professionals near and far. Before joining the Office for Coastal Management\, she worked in Oregon with the South Slough NERR to coordinate a public involvement program. As a faculty member with the School for Field Studies’ Center for Coastal Studies in Baja California Sur\, Mexico\, Pam collaborated with local educators to develop bioregional environmental education curricula\, and explored the interaction between the coastal communities and the marine resources of the Magdalena Bay region as they related to the fishery and conservation challenges in that area.\n \n[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]

SUMMARY:Social Science Basics: Writing Effective Survey Questions
DESCRIPTION:Take this course if you… \n\nAre not trained in survey design but are tasked with administering surveys.\nWould like to develop a more critical eye for what “good” survey questions look like\, and how to maximize feedback.\n\nAbout the Course\nSurveys are a popular information collection tool to help coastal managers understand their stakeholders and quickly assess large populations. 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\nReview and critique surveys\, and identify common mistakes in question design\nIncorporate 25 best practices when creating survey questions\nCreate appropriate question layout and design\nIdentify ways to improve survey questions that yield desired data types\n\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. He has extensive experience in working with state and local municipalities to build capacity in coastal conservation\, and community resilience. He also has a portfolio of projects that lend technical assistance to the National Weather Service to enhance its social science capacity. Working currently for NOAA\, and formerly for both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Park Service\, he has gained unique perspectives of how the public and institutions understand\, perceive\, and use natural resources\, particularly in coastal areas. He is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Charleston\, where he works with students on an array of human dimensions-based research topics. Chris received his PhD in 2005 from East Carolina University. \nBrenna Sweetman\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nBrenna is social scientist with NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management based at the National Water Center in Tuscaloosa\, AL. Her work focuses on integrating social science to support sound decision-making to address complex coastal and water resource challenges. Through partnerships\, collaboration and the integration of social and natural sciences\, she works to better understand the data\, tool and information needs to protect and maintain coastal communities\, ecosystems and economies. Prior to working with NOAA\, she worked in Central America on coastal and marine natural resource management topics and instructed environmental education. She holds a Master’s in Geography from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Spanish from the University of Pittsburgh.

With support from the Clean Marina Program\, the city of Superior and many partners\, Barker’s Island Marina has taken great strides over the past few years to install an engineered wetland and a large boat wash station. Tour participants will visit these innovative projects and learn more about the Clean Marina Program. \n**DUE TO WEATHER\, THIS PROGRAM IS NO LONGER HOSTING A WALKING TOUR** Instead\, there will be a presentation held INDOORS at the Lake Superior Estuarium on Barker’s Island (3 Marina Dr.). It will last from 5-6 p.m. and will include time for Q&A. This is an in-person event\, and will not be recorded or live-streamed. Masks are required to be worn in the building. \nView on Facebook \n[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
