Ever heard of the story where data was captured, stored and left alone? It’s something that happens all too often. One data stack tucked away in a little warehouse collecting dust only to be forgotten when new data comes onto the scene.
What would happen if we never let that data get dusty? What would happen if we made sure it was always accessible to compare against new streams of data? There’d be new stories, new revelations, new discoveries as we see new patterns and shapes emerge. How would this be possible? Tableau.
This technology offers a highly interactive and intuitive visual-based exploration experience for business users to easily access, prepare and analyse their data. This happens through three primary products: Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server and Tableau Online (Tableau’s cloud offering). None of which require you to code. Since its inception, Tableau has been sharply focused on making the analytic workflow experience for users easier, while at the same time giving them greater power to explore and find insights in data.
Tableau’s core strengths allow end users to create intuitive interactive visualisations to explore and analyse data from almost any data source. Tools like these would allow us to provide our data to students for visual analysis. What a great way of connecting our research with student learning and teaching. What a great assessment task! Here is the data stack – analyse and report what it is saying! HD+.
You can download your trial of Tableau to play with what your data and see what new discoveries you may find! Free educational licenses for Learning and Teaching are also available! The team at Tableau will be visiting the Futures Hub to showcase and run workshops on how to use the software to analyse and visualise data. See below to register:
