How many times have you been asked to create a presentation or report using charts and infographics to summarize your assessment data? How do you get from a pile of data to a “pretty” visual? Do you think this is beyond your skill set because you “aren’t an artist”?

90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual and visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text. In a world that has become increasingly visual with social media as a driving force, the written word may not always be the best way to communicate the results of your assessment. Data must be “used and useful” as part of the assessment process. As technology allows for endless choices for data visualization, honing your skill sets in thinking through the process of how to visualize data effectively so you can tell your story is key.
