Seminar Gapminder
From IPID
Dear IPID members,
We are glad to invite you to a seminar on how to use the "Motion Chart" or "Gapminder Trendalyzer" with your own research data. The seminar will be hosted by Örebro University and given by Zhongxing Zhang from Gapminder.org.
Gapminder is a non-profit venture promoting sustainable global development by increased use and understanding of statistics and other information about social, economic and environmental development at local, national and global levels. The Trendalyzer is a software for animation of statistics. The software unveils the beauty of statistical time series by converting boring numbers into enjoyable, animated and interactive graphics. The current version of Trendalyzer is available since March 2006 as Gapminder World, a web-service displaying time series of development statistics for all countries.
For more information: http://www.gapminder.org/
The seminar will be held at Örebro University on December 9, 2009!
Time: 13-16
Participation
The seminar is open to all IPID-members. To register your interest in the workshop, please send an e-mail to Annika Andersson annika.andersson@oru.se by the latest December 4.
To maintain the intimacy and richness necessary for this type of event, the number of participants is limited to 20. First come, first served.
The best way to learn the software is to practice it, so you are welcome to practice on your own data (computers will be available).
