The explosion of Generative AI has accelerated the need for data literacy in what was already a fast-paced, data-driven world. Data literacy is no longer a nice-to-have skill but a must-have in any field. To help more people develop these critical skills, SAS has launched its second, free Data Literacy e-learning course, Data Literacy in Practice, that empowers individuals and professionals to explore and visualise data with confidence.
“In a world overflowing with data, unlocking its power sets you apart. Data literacy is more relevant than ever for young learners and professionals wishing to upskill and reskill,” said Dr Emily Pressman, Developer of the SAS Data Literacy series. “Our courses are designed to be easily consumed by learners and integrated into instruction and professional development offerings.”
Whether a student, educator or professional, everyone can benefit from better data literacy. Educators can better prepare students for careers, while employers can improve the data literacy of their workforces. Business professionals can enhance their decision-making through data analysis, and individuals can explore the power of data for personal and professional enrichment.
Data Literacy in Practice makes learning about data fun, easy and practical. Key features include:
- User-friendly design – By focusing on conceptual and practical understanding rather than distracting mathematical jargon, learners feel supported and encouraged throughout the process.
- Real-world examples – By working through practical scenarios, learners develop the skills to apply data literacy knowledge in real-life situations.
- Convenient and self-paced – SAS Data Literacy e-learning courses offer the flexibility to learn at any pace, anytime and anywhere.
