In this digital ITEMS module, Nikole Gregg and Dr. Brian Leventhal discuss strategies to ensure data visualizations achieve graphical excellence. Data visualizations are commonly used by measurement professionals to communicate results to examinees, the public, educators, and other stakeholders. To do so effectively, it is important that these visualizations communicate data efficiently and accurately. These visualizations can achieve graphical excellence when they simultaneously display data effectively, efficiently, and accurately. Unfortunately, measurement and statistical software default graphics typically fail to uphold these standards and are therefore not suitable for publication or presentation to the public. To illustrate best practices, the instructors provide an introduction to the graphical template language in SAS and show how elementary components can be used to make efficient, effective, and accurate graphics for a variety of audiences. The module contains audio‐narrated slides, embedded illustrative videos, quiz questions with diagnostic feedback, a glossary, sample SAS code, and other learning resources.

数字模块17：数据可视化：有效的循证实践https://ncme.elevate.commpartners.com

在此数字ITEMS模块中，Nikole Gregg和Brian Leventhal博士讨论了确保数据可视化实现卓越图形效果的策略。测量专业人员通常使用数据可视化来将结果传达给考生，公众，教育者和其他利益相关者。为了有效地做到这一点，重要的是这些可视化文件可以有效且准确地传达数据。当这些可视化同时有效，高效和准确地显示数据时，可以实现出色的图形显示。不幸的是，测量和统计软件的默认图形通常无法遵循这些标准，因此不适合公开发布或向公众展示。为了说明最佳做法，讲师将介绍SAS中的图形模板语言，并演示如何使用基本组件为各种受众制作高效，有效和准确的图形。该模块包含音频解说的幻灯片，嵌入式说明性视频，带有诊断反馈的测验问题，词汇表，示例SAS代码和其他学习资源。
