The goal of dataLiteracyTutorial is to provide a basic tutorial showing how to understand visualizations in a non-technical and interactive fashion. The interactive visualizations help students to explore various visualization concepts and understand how data is represented in visualizations.
dataLiteracyTutorial is implemented as a LearnR package. It can be set up on a Shiny server such as shinyapps.io or can be installed and run on a computer with the instructions below.
