A Data Literacy Crash Course

This video gives you a crash course in data literacy, framing up why it's important and the four levels we use at Penguin Analytics to conceptualize data literacy. This course will analysts looking to identify the skills they need to work on to improve their communication skills, and help business leaders identify where they and their teams need to improve their data literacy to become a more data-driven team. First we'll walk through an overview, then walk through understanding, analysis, interpretation and communication. This crash course gives a quick overview, but there's certainly more to dig into - additional videos will be coming soon, digging into each of the four layers in more detail. 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Why is Data Literacy important 00:41 A Quick Example 01:25 What is Data Literacy? 02:05 Levels of Data Literacy 02:53 Developing Skills 03:38 Understanding 04:32 Analysis 05:12 Interpretation 05:50 Communication 06:32 Conclusion & Wrap Up
