How Best to Customize Blue Dashboard to Inform Your Decision-Making and Improvement Actions
Your feedback collection process is complete and you’re ready to share the results with key stakeholders. More and more institutions are using Blue Dashboard to compliment Blue reports. Blue Dashboard allows stakeholders to explore and interpret information in an interactive way to meet their specific needs, ultimately better informing decision-making and improvement actions.
In this learning webinar, Explorance solution experts will show you how Blue Dashboard viewers can filter, compare or drill down into specific data points for a deeper analysis, helping uncover trends and patterns that might not be immediately apparent. With more advanced administrative controls available in the latest release (version 4.2), Blue Dashboard admins can customize an intuitive and user-friendly interface that simplifies the preparation of instructor portfolios for review and for other purposes. Also, you can provide links to valuable resources via the Blue Dashboard. Join this learning webinar to also see how different Blue Dashboards can be configured for different stakeholders to comply with privacy and policy requirements at your institution, as each dashboard can be tailored to display relevant metrics and insights based on the viewer’s role and needs.
If you have any specific questions that you would like us to consider while preparing for this webinar, please feel free to let us know on your registration form or via this community’s webinar discussion forum post.
