ProQuest TDM Studio Visualizations can be used for many different levels of research, teaching and learning. The platform can be a valuable teaching tool for faculty whose learning objectives include text mining methods. Others using this data tool for research or teaching may prefer applying it toward analysis of specific subjects pertinent to their field, probing how those subjects are covered within news reports, or for critical analysis of subjects not frequently covered (i.e., under-reported stories). Here are three brief case studies showing how the ProQuest TDM Studio Visualizations dashboard has been used at other academic institutions:
