Extended Abstract: 

This session focuses on getting our audience excited about the variety of ways they can use their data by visualizations and interactive dashboards created in Tableau. We will start by showcasing the different uses and needs we face every day in reporting at FIU Online. From understanding our recruitment process to online programs to analyzing our web traffic, from crunching our financial numbers to seeing where we stand with our enrollment goals, from understanding your student’s online classroom trends to being able to pinpoint what our students have issues with the most, from analyzing college/department enrollments to better serving our students by pinpointing upward enrollment trends. You will get lots of ideas to get you started. Let us then go through best practices and suggestions on how to set up a dashboard, how to tailor it to different employees and, last but not least, how to visualize your data so you can start making an impact at your workplace.
