We are excited to show you how to utilize a free (academic use) tool for online data analysis assignments. We've been using this assignment in our MIS course and have refined to achieve ideal learner engagement. Student feedback has been positive. This tool is adaptive and easy to implement.
The assignment highlighted in this presentation was designed to improve learner engagement within a mixed-major course. Coupling the personal interests of students (exploratory) with an effective data analysis technique has helped increase engagement and interest in MIS for students. The technologies we used are readily available for faculty and students to use.
