Building dashboards in R with flexdashboard

Hi y’all!
Did you ever struggle to communicate your findings? Often when we present our results, we dive into too many details and lose sight of the main question. In that case it could help to create a dashboard, that summarises and highlights the main conclusions, and additionally enables others to ask questions.

In our next workshop you will learn how to create dashboards in R using flexdashboard. This workshop is brought to you by Olga Sholderer. She is a Senior Associate, Data Services at AACSB International and comes from a non-technical background: she earned her degrees in Political Science and Public Administration and previously worked in non-profits and international organizations.

SPECIAL THANKS this time goes to XCCELERATED for making this event possible!

Flexdashboard is an extension to RMarkdown to combine different plots into dashboards. To start off, we will explore how you can create simple dashboard. Then we will explore the ways to display datatables, graphs, key metrics and progress indicators, as well as how to customize the look and feel of your first dashboard.
