Open Data Day: Datos Abiertos y Humanidades Digitales - Relatório do Evento

Dia: Saturday 6 March 2021
Horário: 11:00 (CST)
Local: Online, Chile (The Americas)
Organizadores: Riva Quiroga, Programming Historian

No sábado, 6 de Março de 2021, o décimo primeiro Dia dos Dados Abertos foi realizado por pessoas de todo o mundo através da organização de centenas de eventos para celebrar, promover e disseminar o uso de dados abertos. Graças aos generosos suportes, a Open Knowledge Foundation foi capaz de apoiar a realização de mais de 60 destes eventos através nosso esquema de minibolsas.

Este evento recebeu uma minibolsa da Open Knowledge Foundation graças ao suporte de Microsoft.

Como seu evento celebrou os Dados Abertos?

We organised two workshops about analysing educational data in Latin America.

The first workshop showed participants how to analyse text data using a software called Voyant Tools. Participants learned how to process a collection of open access texts to build a corpus, and how to analyse them to identify patterns and pressing issues regarding education in Latin America during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The second workshop focused on data visualisation using Python. Participants learned how to critically analyse the origin and quality of the open data, and the possibilities that Python offers to make significant data-driven narratives to highlight pressing issues in our region, like educational enrolment in Colombia.

Lições aprendidas no evento:

Maybe the most important lesson learned was the relevance of this kind of event. Not only because it allowed us to identify pressing issues regarding education in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic (gender inequalities, access to technology, etc.) and education enrolment, but also because it showed the need of workshops where people can learn tools and techniques to analyse open data using open software.
