Tableau

Tableau software is a powerful visualization and analytics tool. It can be used by instructors to understand learning analytics gathered from various sources, including Canvas. It can be used by students to create project reports.

In addition to an interface that is easy to use for both those who publish visualizations and those who use them, Tableau enables data from multiple sources to be integrated together into combined reports. These visualizations can show combinations of locally maintained data, enterprise data, and even public data.

Desktop licenses are available via ITS Software Services.

Cloud licenses (“Tableau Server”) allow university consortium members to share data visualizations that can be viewed and, in some cases, manipulated by authorized users in the university community. Tableau Server is the best way to publish and share reports with other university users.
