DataSight 2015 was originally developed at the SIAW under the direction of Prof. Dr. Johannes Binswanger for the executive education at the University of St.Gallen in order to "experience" the world of data in economic lessons. It quickly became clear what needs managers have for a data tool, especially when data is not their daily bread: The time series must become visible in level (not only in growth rates), a bar chart and a dynamic representation on maps. Central is the view CORRELATION, which shows the relationship between two variables. This makes it possible to test hypotheses or theory.
DataSight has evolved into a tool that makes it possible to learn and "experience" the basic handling of data in a simple and effective way. This automatically consolidates basic statistical concepts.
It is suitable for students up to Bachelor level, for use in Bachelor theses and in executive education. It is currently used regularly at the ZHAW (Bachelor level) and in the EMBA-HSG.
It is suitable for teaching, because links provide direct access to selected graphics (example here). Links always remain up-to-date. The data is automatically updated. This eliminates the annoying updating of data/graphics in presentations.
It is constantly being further developed. The team is open to new ideas, tasks and data sets.
