via Latest Internet resources added to Intute: Social Sciences Research Tools and Methods gateway on 10 April
OpenLearn is a website produced by the Open University in the UK, that is making available free of charge thousands of hours of educational content to learners and educators interested in studying subjects at a higher education level. This section provides free access to an online course about using and interpreting charts, graphs and tables. It will be of most use to students who haven't used data in this way for some time and need to brush up quickly. The course is clearly outlined and includes online readings and exercises for self-paced distance learning. There is an extensive list of references for further reading. Topics covered include: making sense of data displayed in different formats and interpreting graphs and charts. There is a follow-up course that covers the topics in more detail.
Hazel's comment:
Fifteen hours if you want to actually study the whole course but it is a useful skimmable reference for those of us who want to understand some of the confusing terms that get used by economists and labour market specialists.
I am coming to rely more and more on the information provided by Intute. Thank you, all of you un-named people who research the resources and then tell us about them -- in droves!
