QBUS5010: Intro to Dashboarding and Data Visualisation
Dashboards are digestible and real-time visualisation systems, which can produce valuable insights about business processes. These dashboards may even form a core component of future business processes and decision making. Creating such visualisations is a challenging task requiring the creator to have wide ranging knowledge and skills in such fields as user experience design, statistics, visualisation, databases, web technologies and programming. This unit aims to equip students with a working knowledge of dashboard systems. Students learn how dashboards systems work, how they are built and to analyse dashboard designs using principles of visual analytics.
