In this interactive session, we’ll explore how storytelling can transform the way we communicate assessment, evaluation, and research findings. Participants will learn a practical framework for building compelling stories from data, with real examples from higher education. We’ll cover strategies for identifying the purpose of a story, understanding your audience, and integrating narrative with data visuals. Participants will leave the session with a data story they crafted and with the ability to apply what they’ve learned at work.
