Dashboards Start with Data: Why Assessment Loading Matters
To ensure that dashboards genuinely help educators, we start with the end in mind: what data should be included, how it should be displayed, and why it will be useful for the people who rely on it. Rally, EA's data visualization product, is meant to provide a snapshot of student data, with one key area being assessment data. Rally is not meant to replace the detailed reports provided by assessment vendors. Instead, it is meant to provide an effective overview of that data. Therefore, at EA, we strive to make well-informed decisions on what to display so teachers and administrators can access the right data at the right time to make the right decisions. In this blog, Product Manager Joshua Terchek and Senior Data Engineer Manager Susan Xiong discuss the process of building out these meaningful dashboards within our data visualization products, Rally Analytics Platform and Podium.
