REQUIREMENTS
There are many software tools for data visualisation and visual analytics, and the list is still growing.
In this course we will use a variety of tools, so that you can become comfortable with engaging with different software packages and gain confidence in trialling new packages that may better meet your particular needs.
We will be using the following tools. Please review the product websites below to ensure your system meets the minimum requirements:
- Tableau: as the free trial period is 2 weeks, please do not start your free trial ahead of the course start date.
- MATLAB Online: a license will be provided for the duration of the course.
- D3.js: a JavaScript library available under BSD license.
If you don’t have access to all of these tools, you can still be an effective learner in this course. You can see what they can do, and use the tools later or investigate the use of other tools that might be more available to you.
