Why Power BI?
Since its debut in 2013, Power BI has redefined the landscape of data analytics and business intelligence, offering additional dynamic features compared to Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. While Microsoft Access primarily serves as a database management tool, Power BI excels in data visualization, integration, and collaboration in LMS. Besides that, Power BI is the best choice as it also has a short learning curve compared to other apps in general.
Overall, Power BI enable decision-makers to:
- transform data into actionable insights
- adapt to modern data needs
- empower organisations to drive data-informed strategies for decision-making
- shorten learning curve as its user-friendly interface can be used by anyone with elementary technical knowledge
Who benefit most from Power BI in learning analytics?
Executives and Managers
Executives and managers rely on dashboards and reports to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and track the progress of their departments or teams. Learning analytics provides them with real-time or near-real-time insights into the organisation’s performance.
Human Resources and Learning and Development
HR and L&D departments can analyse learners’ learning data, attendance, performance, training, and development activities in their LMS. It can help them track metrics such as learners’ training completion rates, engagement, and performance.
Besides that, Power BI can be valuable for L&D in analysing the effectiveness of training programs. This information can help in optimising training content and methods for learners’ professional development.
How Power BI makes imc’s learning analytics more powerful?
1. Data integration and accessibility
Power BI’s data integration can link data from various sources with imc’s LMS such as course information, user and group information, enrolment information, learning record information, test result, metatag, and learning path. Moreover, its cloud-based nature ensures that stakeholders can access these insights securely from anywhere. For instance, Power BI can be used for collaboration by automating the sharing of dashboards and reports with other LMS administrators and groups.
2. Interactive and visually compelling dashboards and reports
Power BI is used to integrate data into dynamic dashboards to compare relevant data (percentiles, counts, charts with timeline, etc.) to identify trends and correlations in learning analytics. With the integration of Power BI in learning analytics, users can make complex data models into easily digestible bits of information. Moreover, you can also filter your data to easily create your reports within the same screen.
3. Prediction for future development and recommendation
Power BI serves as a part of a solution in providing prediction for future development and recommendation. It is incorporated with advanced analytics features that enable decision-makers to forecast the effectiveness of the courses, identify courses at risk, and proactively implement interventions to address the risk. This feature enables organisations tailor support and resources to meet the specific needs of individual learner for overall organisational growth and success.
