Register your class to use NICAR Courses this fall

Preparing a fall syllabus for a college journalism course? Consider teaching your class the basics of data journalism using spreadsheets. We have all the lessons and data you need to introduce your students to Excel and working with data through NICAR Courses.

“I have used this course pack in a digital journalism foundations class, and it is terrific,” said John Wihbey, who used the course packs at Boston University. “The materials are well-organized, and the examples really helped the students grasp the concepts and learn how to analyze data quickly and accurately. I’d recommend it even to teachers unfamiliar with Excel and data. It makes for an excellent two-week unit.”
