The Using Data to Tell Stories short course is designed to help learners unlock the value of data storytelling by communicating it clearly, confidently, and with purpose
Cyber attacks such as phishing, malware, ransomware and data breaches increasingly target individuals through everyday technologies including email, cloud platforms, mobile devices and collaboration tools. A single mistake can lead to significant disruption, financial loss, reputational damage, or loss of personal and organisational data.
Whether you are sharing updates with colleagues, presenting findings to stakeholders, or using insight to influence decisions, knowing how to interpret and communicate data effectively can make a real difference. This course supports learners to move beyond simply reporting figures and instead use data to create messages that are meaningful, memorable, and relevant to their audience.
Aligned with the Agored Cymru unit CDQ309, this data storytelling course provides a practical foundation for anyone looking to build confidence in data storytelling and progress towards a recognised micro-credential. It also encourages learners to reflect on ethics, data protection, and responsible communication so insights are not only impactful, but accurate, fair, and appropriate. Through practical activities, real-world examples, and collaborative tasks, you’ll discover how to turn data into stories that inform, engage, and drive action.
