Module 5: What tools are used to manipulate data?

In this module we follow up on the prior module in data tables and databases to think about how software systems and tools support and facilitate the data work that we do.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify and delineate key characteristics between data processing tools (such as a local Excel document vs an Excel document saved to the cloud vs Google Sheets).
  • Identify key differences between programming-based data tools vs spreadsheet tools and decide which is more appropriate for the task at hand.
