We help you teach Datawrapper

Dataset: The Datawrapper sample dataset “Rural and urban population."

Focus: Which chart types Datawrapper offers and when to use which one, how to use colors to make charts understandable, stacked bar chart settings.

Also touches on: Pie / Donut chart settings, why and how to use transpose, why and how to test for mobile readers, number formats, share & embed settings after publishing.

Dataset: The Worldbank dataset about unemployment in all countries between 1991-2019. We prepared the exercise so that the resulting chart shows unemployment in European countries, but the exercise is built in a way that the resulting chart can compare the unemployment rates in any country.

Focus: Line chart settings, cleaning up data for use in Datawrapper, how to use colors, annotations and highlight ranges to make a strong statement with a chart.

Also touches on: How to navigate the Worldbank Data Portal, the difference between data file types (CSV, Excel, XML), why and how to use transpose, why and how to test for mobile readers, number formats, how to write a chart title, share & embed settings after publishing.

Dataset: None. The markers show the favorite places of your workshop attendees.

Focus: Creating & formatting markers and some other, simple locator map settings.

Also touches on: Why and how to test for mobile readers, share & embed settings after publishing.

Dataset: A prepared data set of the results of the US election 2020 for each US county, handed out as a Google Sheets link.

Focus: Choropleth map settings; how to use colors to create a useful and truthful map; how to add map labels.

Also touches on: How to encode two values in one map (results for Democrats and for Republicans) and the disadvantages that comes with it, how maps are great for showing patterns, how hard it is to “read” values out of maps, how to show multiple values in tooltips, (if wanted: how to write a chart title), share & embed settings after publishing.

Dataset: Unemployment data by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in all countries for the current or last year. We prepared the exercise so that the resulting map shows unemployment in European countries, but the exercise is built in a way that the resulting map can show unemployment on any continent.

Focus: Choropleth map settings, how to use colors to best point out the difference between central / northern European nations & southern European nations.

Also touches on: How to navigate the IMF Data Portal, how maps are great for showing patterns, how hard it is to “read” values out of maps, how to show multiple values in tooltips, how to write a chart title, share & embed settings after publishing.
