Welcome to the Boeing 2 Learning Analytics and Visualization Project!

Project Overview

A short overview of the project is taken from the CNS Center - Boeing 2 Project Planning Timeline: Support and manage learning analytics and visualization development projects for the Boeing Corporation.

Goals (ordered by priority)

  1. Support development of learner trajectory dashboard - production level visualization and layouts; includes main visualization (a), and supplementary visualizations of student performance/proficiency data (b)
  2. Create an edX Course Database - a production strength database that contains data for Boeing sponsored courses and students, that is used by the edX Data Czar to share relevant data to project collaborators.
  3. Support implementation of new analysis and visualizations for project

Sub-Projects

This sub-project is used for project management and organization activities, and aligns with all goals listed for the project.
