Data Literacy

Data literacy is the ability to understand, interpret, and use data effectively to make informed decisions. It involves knowing how to access data, analyze it, and apply it to academic or administrative tasks to improve outcomes, whether for research, teaching, or institutional management.

Being data literate in this day and age is crucial. It empowers individuals and organizations to make informed decision based on evidence rather than intuition or guesswork. It can enhance decision-making, research and teaching, accountability and transparency, student success, and operational efficiency.
