Data Analytics and Visualization: An Interdisciplinary Tool for Teaching and Learning STEM

Data analytics and visualization can be a valuable teaching tool in the analysis of quantitative as well as qualitative data. Moreover, the techniques involved can be applied as an interdisciplinary teaching strategy for research and teaching in higher education. A training institute resulted in cohorts of teachers developing lesson plans that they shared with colleagues at the end of the institute. At the same time, our goal was to also teach the MSU STEM students how to teach DHS priority areas through the tools of visual analytics and data analysis.
