Participants of this workshop will benefit from also taking our Predictive Analytics workshop.
An overview of our Microsoft Power BI© workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to teach education professionals how to build online dashboards to predict student outcomes literally with ‘the push of a button’. Participants learn how to use common data files (Excel, CSV etc) with Power BI©, and how to create dashboards with interactive data visualization and drill-down tools that display predicted student outcomes (e.g. admission yield, enrollment persistence, course grades, semester GPA) at the click of a button. Step-by-step demonstration and guidance allow participants to develop their own dashboards with furnished sample data files and dashboard designs that can be readily used as templates at their own institutions. The hands-on workshop teaches the entire process of dashboard development from data import to online dashboard activation for end-user access.
Note: Participation requires computer access with MS Excel (2010/2013) and MS Power BI©, which can be downloaded for free here.
Expected outcomes of our Microsoft Power BI© workshop
By the end of the workshop, participants should know how to do the following:
Who should attend?
Anyone, within or outside the education community, who wishes to develop and provide interactive online access to forecasting data based on online selected sample parameters that define a population of interest. While the workshop uses student outcome data for demonstration, the step-by-step guidance to develop a dashboard is equally applicable to other data and outcomes (e.g. forecasting budget revenues, expenditures, or other quantifiable outcomes).
Participants of this workshop will benefit from also taking our Predictive Analytics workshop.
