What is Data Visualisation?
Data Visualisation is the process of turning raw data into easy-to-understand visual like charts, graphs, and maps. It helps people quickly identify patterns, trends, and outliers without analysing large amount of text or numbers
Why data visualisation is Essential?
Data visualisation is more than just simplifying data, it a key skill in software engineering and other fields, as data continue to grow, it effectively improve and communicate for it decision making
How does the importance of data visualisation improve decision making and example
Data visualisation help decision making quickly by identifying trend, difference, insight without long analysis.
For example a line graph tracking sales can highlight peak performance periods, while visualising student engagement can show which content areas need improvement.
Importance of data visualisation of simplifies complex data
Raw data in spreadsheet can be overwhelming, but transforming them into charts or dashboard make patterns more apparent.
For example, a pie chart showing read vs unread textbook help teachers assess the quality at a glance

Since human process visual faster than text, interactive visualisation like graphic and heat map can enchants engagement and understanding.
In education these tool can motivate student to improve their learning strategies and able to collaborate among teachers and administrators
What component use to make a effective data visualisation
A line graph is ideal for showing trend over time
A bar graph effectively compares categories.

What component use to make a effective data visualisation
Infographic
Infographic blend data and design to create a compelling narrative, using a combination of charts icon and textual information to show in an engaging and visually appealing.
What component use to make a effective data visualisation
Interactivity
In mordern technology, interactive visualisation allow users to interact with the data, able to filter out data or zooming into specific data. This enchanted understanding by enabling the user to explore the data more on their terms
