I'm desperate for some design help! I have a large amount of data that I want to present in a strikingly visual way. The story I want to show visually is how much online fraud has increased since 2001. I have two data sources, the FTC (Federal Trade commission), and the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
I'd also suggest reaching out in theBuilding Better Courses side of ELH and see if there is anyone who can help! That side tends to focus more on design and how to.
One of my favorite data-heavy e-learning demos is now quite old--so old that it may not run in some browsers any more, though I did get it to run OK in Firefox on a Windows 10 PC just now.
What I think is so nice about this course is that it visualizes a huge amount of data in very simple terms, then adds basic animation and simple interactivity to help it come alive.
There are many graphical representations that would be effective, however, relatable metaphor makes an enduring impression. Translating your data in to, say, a jar of jellybeans would provide a lasting image that your audience can relate to and easily visualize.
These are going to be certified fraud analysts learning about a new way to implement a government regulation. But having said that, there must be a way...THANKS
Hey Tricia! Your dilemma inspired me to create this infographic slider download, so I thought I'd share it with you in case it's something that you could adapt and use. :)

Hi Tricia
would an infographic style work for you - here is a blog from Tom Kulhmann that might give you ideas and another article here as well.

Best of luck on your project!
Thanks Ashley, great idea. And I need all the luck I can get!

Anyway, the demo is from Gapminder: Gapminder Human Development Trends, 2005: http://www.gapminder.org/downloads/human-development-trends-2005/

Requires Flash.

Great timing, Tricia! This week's challenge post (and following examples) might give you some ideas: https://community.articulate.com/articles/tooltips-hyperlinks-and-explorable-explanations
