I recently watched the 4T Data Literacy Conference on July 20-21, 2017 - sponsored by a grant from IMLS and put on by the University of Michigan School of Information. The videos, ranging from Data Refuge to several on Privacy concerns in the online world, are archived here: http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/conference/schedule/. Examples of other topics include infographics, citizen science, big data and statistics. There is also an accompanying book that is currently being distributed through their website and will be available for full download later this fall.
I feel this is an area that most of us don't feel comfortable with, and so would be a great growth opportunity and a possible topic for student workshops.
