Visual Analytics with AI, on your schedule.
Adapted from a graduate short course into something you can work through on your own time. It covers how to use AI as a real analytical partner when you are trying to see what your data is telling you, and where it will quietly lead you somewhere wrong. It's being built now. Join the list and you will hear first when it opens.
Scope
What this course is, what it isn't.
This course is
- Self-paced video you can start whenever you want
- Built on material already taught at the graduate level
- Honest about where AI helps and where it misleads
- Shipped with the datasets and files to work along
This course isn't
- Live, and there is no cohort moving alongside you
- A channel for direct feedback on your own work
- A substitute for Become a Builder in a Day, the hands-on workshop
- A tour of one vendor's product
Curriculum
What you'll work through.
The outline below is taking shape as the course is built. It will firm up before it opens.
/ 01
What visual analytics actually is
Where visual analytics sits between dashboards and data science, and why the distinction changes how you approach a question.
/ 02
Asking better questions of your data
Framing an analysis so the visualization has a job to do, instead of building charts and hoping meaning appears.
/ 03
Where AI genuinely helps
Using AI to accelerate exploration, generate candidate views, and pressure-test what you think you are seeing.
/ 04
Where AI gets it wrong
The failure modes worth knowing: confident misreadings, invented patterns, and the checks that catch them before you present.
/ 05
Building the analysis
A full worked example from raw data to a defensible visual argument, with the working files so you can follow along.
