Summary

This course is designed for people who want to produce effective Power BI reports for an education sector audience.

The course is built around Power BI Desktop - you need your own copy (free from Microsoft). Like all our Power BI courses, we put a lot of emphasis on practical, hands-on activities in Power BI Desktop.

The course assumes some Power BI Desktop knowledge experience - attendees should know who to import tables of data from MS Excel and then use them to build simple reports.

We look at some specific examples of student/education reports that have been built with Power BI.

Course content includes:

  1. Report design and why it matters
  2. How to choose the right chart or visualisation
  3. Using calculated columns and measures to enhance education data
  4. Building useful relationships between data from different sources
  5. Designing and building reports that find insights in student performance data
  6. Sharing with colleagues reports via the online Power BI service

All the examples/activities in the course are education based - the focus of the course is how you build reports/dashboards for stakeholders and colleagues in an education context.
