The emergence of Data Science driven by the need to deal with data systematically and intelligently puts modern statistical practice as an important weapon. In line with the development of Data Science, the rebranding of statistics education took place in institutions of higher learning that used new labels such as data analytics courses to replace the old name of statistics courses. The objective of this paper is to highlight the implementation of teaching and learning of data analytics on three issues namely the development of the field of data analytics in the country, the challenges of implementing data analytics teaching and learning at the tertiary level and the direction of data analytics teaching and learning. Based on the shift in the paradigm of data analytics pedagogy to practical and interactive integration of conceptual understandings, recommendations for the teaching and learning of data analytics are discussed...

The implementation of full online teaching and learning activities in Higher Educational institutions invites tangible challenges to sustain students’ interest and engagement in the course, throughout the semester. Meaningful learning encourages students to develop concepts constructively in active learning that promote the integration of knowledge in daily life and potential career applications. Meaningful learning also applies richer application capabilities in synchronous or asynchronous learning systems. Visualization is a technic to support concept description and imagination and provide an additional effective layer for learning towards increased motivation. In this paper, a discussion of the active involvement of students using visualization in online data analytics courses at the tertiary level is presented. Based on functional context principles of visualized course content, recommendations to practitioners are discussed.  ..
