About the Course

This course teaches candidates how to connect the programmatic data solutions’ outcomes to a user-friendly front-end system. Throughout the year, candidates will engage with many interactive elements from the Python and Industry Tools content capable of connecting with interactive components in popular front-end systems. In this course, candidates will be taught how to connect those data exit points to premade dashboard elements widely used within the industry. Candidates will be taught the basics of universal design principles and given user experience guidelines as self-study.

This course teaches advanced visualisation tools in the industry to allow end-users to engage with data analysis results in real-time. Candidates will be taught universal design principles for interactive tools and how to interface these tools to the results acquired from data analysis exit points. This course requires the competencies acquired in all prior courses in the year.

Learning Activities

Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.

Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.

Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
