K-12 Advice and Exemplars

Gary Molloy Jun 23, 2015 9:52 PM

New to Tableau where we are looking to develop a consolidated and integrated approach to the communication of student learning and achievement with mindfulness of the centrality of teachers, parents and students. The idea is to develop simple, effective systems for tracking student learning and achievement that provide diagnostic feedback to all students, teachers and parents in order to improve performance.

We have been using MicroStrategy and R with some success this year. Tableau now having enabled R integration looks attractive.

We have a skinny budget and so I'd appreciate any pointers that you can provide on launching into data in schools and any publicly available exemplars in K-12.

Hi Gary,

I'm late to the question by a lot, but thought you still might appreciate this short (16 mins) webinar on sharing data with teachers, principals, and administrators. Probably would have been helpful earlier in the year for the diagnostic side of things, but perhaps still of use to you.

Did you wind up using Tableau's R integration after all or did you stick with MicroStrategy? How's it working so far?

Best,
Mariel

I have changed from MicroStrategy to Tableau and wonder why I waited so long to change.

That said, I am struggling bringing R into Tableau and ask that Tableau take a step back and developed some detailed and easy to follow instructions on how to integrate R will some fully developed examples.

Nice! Sounds like it was a good decision, Gary Molloy.

Is there something in particular you're struggling with? I'm seeing lots of YouTube videos on using R in Tableau, like this one (granted, few of them seem to be from Tableau at first glance). Are any of those helpful?

Just saw this presentation on R integration. I haven't done more than skim through, but I'll pass along in case it's helpful.
