Tso ucas
This document discusses a pitch for a website called "courseExpectations.com" that would provide a centralized location for students to access and compare university course data from various sources.
The proposed website would aggregate course data from UCAS and student surveys, and include additional course details like reading lists and content recommendations. It would use various marketing strategies to promote the site to potential students.
While just opening up the raw university data would be a good start, the full vision is for a graph-based website that powers consumer-focused course comparisons to help students in their university selection process.

Conversations with data
The document discusses exploratory data analysis and the work of statistician John Tukey. It highlights Tukey's view that exploratory data analysis is an attitude of flexibility rather than a set of techniques. Tukey believed in the importance of data displays and saw himself as a "journeyman carpenter of data-analytical tools." The document also discusses challenges around putting powerful tools in the hands of novices and the need for better education in their use.
Data reuse OU workshop bingo

Each technique is given a brief heading and may include a short quote about using that technique. The overall document introduces various approaches for analyzing and communicating insights from data through narrative forms.
Inspiring content - You Don't Need Big Data to Tell Good Data Stories
To tell good data stories, you do not need big data. A good data story has three elements: some data, a representation of that data, and a way of reading the representation. While real data is often messy, interactive charts and notebooks like IPython allow users to standardize data acquisition and analysis to generate reproducible charts in a storyful way that supports reuse.
