SIM Student Data Featured on Government of Canada Blog

Posted by SIM on December 18, 2015 in News

Dr. Mike Smit wrote the following post for the Canadian Government open data portal: http://open.canada.ca/en/blog/teaching-open-data. The post went live yesterday.

The post features data visualizations from students in Dr. Smit’s course “INFO 6540: Data Management” on subjects such as Canadian ice thickness and Internet usage by age/income. The figures featured are by current/recent MLIS students Emily Colford, Carlisle Kent, Harrison Enman, Keriann Dowling, and Andrea Kampen.

It is wonderful to see the insightful projects of our students and faculty getting national recognition!
