Learning environments where students are active creators can help foster engagement and a sense of accomplishment. If your students are involved in data analysis and presentation, using these exciting and interactive tools could help them get hooked on working with data. These online interfaces are extremely easy to use and accept data in a variety of formats. Once completed, visualizations can be embedded into Blackboard or other websites. In some cases, viewers can also interact with the data.
