Scenario
Find a publicly-available data source, of sufficient complexity, and
come up with two or three interesting questions (can be business,
social, environmental or political in nature), develop a suitable
dashboard to solve / investigate / elaborate the questions raised
using the information visualisation concepts and techniques learned
in this module.
To do the tasks above, you may need to make some assumptions –
please highlight them in your report.
Please pay attention to the grading criteria. Please also note the
University policy on academic misconduct.
The use of ChatGPT, Bard, or any other AI-tools is allowed in this
assignment under specific guidelines and provisions as outlined in
this section.
Under the clauses of fair use, proper academic attribution, and
unfair means, if you use any AI text-generation solution without
properly attributing its use, then you are at risk. Each assignment
will be checked through algorithmic AI-detection tools thoroughly,
and while such detection is never perfect, it only needs to be good
enough on a % of the submitted text. Any suspicion of unfair AI use
will be sent to the plagiarism committee for further investigation,
and if it reaches a panel, you may be called to explain your work
and defend it. Based on algorithmically presented evidence from
such software, and on the balance of probability, if plagiarism /
unfair use is established, it is highly likely that your mark in the
module will be zero. The same could apply if you copy-paste text
from other resources without proper attribution and proper
referencing. Repeated plagiarism offences can mean that your
programme of study is terminated. So, please be extremely careful
and diligent in how you approach AI use in the context of text
generation.
If you use LLMs like ChatGPT or an AI-graphical generator, then you
must:
Maintain a full record of the entire discussion you have with the
AI tool and share it within your assignment. Include the entire
AI-discussion that you had within your assignment submission
as an Appendix and label it “ AI discussion transcript” –
this can be as many pages as you want. It will not count
towards the word count.
Do not use multiple discussion threads. Keep everything in
one place and present only one AI discussion transcript.
The AI discussion transcript that is presented in the
Appendix should have numbered pages for ease of reference.
Since LLMs generate ‘original text’ for fair use, we will treat
ChatGPT, Bard, or any other AI as an original author. However,
you are only allowed to use direct quotations from LLMs at
this stage, present them within direct quotation marks “...” and
include the corresponding page number from the AI discussion
transcript.
Example text: The challenges of conceptualising digital
technologies are escalating because the nature of digital assets is
“dynamic, multifaceted, and ever-evolving... Digital assets
encompass a wide range of intangible elements that pose unique
considerations and intricacies, making their conceptualisation and
management a formidable task” (ChatGPT, p.4).
AI systems are prone to hallucinations. Augment the AI output
by at least one additional academic resource. This can be a
corroborating or a contrasting view, or both. Bring in a real-life
business-oriented example, or a case study framed insight that
will put things into context.
Example text: The challenges of conceptualising digital
technologies are escalating because the nature of digital assets is
“dynamic, multifaceted, and ever-evolving... Digital assets
encompass a wide range of intangible elements that pose unique
considerations and intricacies, making their conceptualisation and
management a formidable task” (ChatGPT, p.4). This is supported
by the research conducted by Zuboff (2021) where she argues that
intangibility has many facets as the virtualisation of assets makes
them harder to consider, particularly in cloud-based services and
distributed architectures like blockchain. Dhillon (2022) argues that
this problem is critical for information security: if we do not get a
grasp on the nature of digital assets, then how do we know what we
are supposed to protect from cyberattacks, and how can we risk-
prioritise such assets?
Finally, do not overuse AI-generated text and follow the
instructions above
Introduction
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the information
visualisation concepts and techniques that you have learned in this module
to (1) transform complex data into a compelling and aesthetically pleasing
dashboard, and (2) assist in answering specific business problems or
questions.
The goal of this project is to come up with two or three interesting questions
(which can be business, social, environmental or political in nature), and then
to solve/investigate/elaborate on these questions using the information
visualisation concepts and techniques learned in this module.
The assignment requires you to carefully collect, clean, present and analyse
publicly-available data using the knowledge, tools and skills you developed in
class. You are required to produce visual evidence to support any of your
claims.
This assignment consists of two parts:
Part one is to produce Tableau dashboards to illustrate your data.
Part two is a short report explaining the visualisation and using it to answer
the business questions. This is not a repeat of the theory covered in class,
but to show the process and choices you made in turning your data into a
visual dashboard that assists the business manager in answering the
question that is under investigation
This assignment carries 70% of the unit marks. This is an individual project.
Scenario
This assignment requires you to visualise a publicly available dataset to
answer two or three compelling questions of your choice. The answers to the
questions must be based on the visualisation produced.
Addressing Module Leaming Outcomes & Grading Criteria
This assignment tests whether you have achieved the leaming outcomes of
the module:
rea
Evaluate the sociotechnical and management dimensions of information
systems through systems theoretical approaches and know how to apply
systerns principles consistently
Acquire, analyse, and visualise data in order to reflect on its decision making
PC potential, the information generated, its relevance and validity, and its
synthetic potential in new situations.
PC 10 Develop digital literacy skills in performing digital analyses on social
media data for classifying online customer behaviour (as well as online
communities).
