Tools and Visualisations: Better World Flux

Better World Flux (http://www.betterworldflux.com/) is a site that visualises existing datasets about the quality of life of people around the world. It doesn't allow you to upload different datasets, but it's a good way of exploring the available data, and is a good example of using interactivity to tell a very clear story.

Excercise:

Using the available datasets, construct and test a particular hypothesis. For example, "Country A is improving faster than Country B in terms of education, but country B is improving faster in terms of overall equality"

Produce a mini data-story using the interactive charts, that shows whether your hypothesis was true, and present it to the person next to you.
