G Suite is available to all UTS students and the various applications available are designed to make it easy for you to collaborate with your coursemates in real-time to complete assignments and projects.

In this workshop, you'll work in teams to identify insights from some real-world social media data. We'll go through the process of exploring data fields and steps to create a data biography, before moving on to learn best practices on organising your data in Google Sheets for the purpose of creating informative data visualisation. Finally, you'll learn to build dynamic, linked data visualisations in a Google Slides presentation deck, and on Google Data Studio dashboards.

NOTE: You will need to bring your laptop or device for this session.
