This tutorial will guide you through the creation of multiple data visualizations that provide an overview of outcomes for HOPE scholarship students.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to create key performance indicators and data visualizations that offer insights into DFW rates in critical, high-enrollment courses.

This tutorial will guide you through an example of how to operationalize data for student success. Hypothetical institutional data of first-time, full-time students will be used to create a set of easily digestible data visualizations that help identify majors with student progression challenges. An example report with the visualizations is available, as are the example data if you want to follow along.
