About the Course

Data visualization is a critical skill for anyone that routinely using quantitative data in his or her work - which is to say that data visualization is a tool that almost every worker needs today. One of the critical tools for data visualization today is the R statistical programming language. Especially in conjunction with the tidyverse software packages, R has become an extremely powerful and flexible platform for making figures, tables, and reproducible reports. However, R can be intimidating for first time users, and there are so many resources online that it can be difficult to sort through without guidance. This course is the fourth in the Specialization "Data Visualization and Dashboarding in R." Learners will come to this course with a strong background in making visualization in R using ggplot2. To build on those skills, this course covers creating interactive visualization using Shiny, as well as combining different kinds of figures made in R into interactive dashboards....

This is the second course I have taken with this Dr. Paschall. I think he provides a challenging yet supportive and satisfying learning experience. Dr. Paschall chooses interesting real world data and creates interesting assignments and assessments. His videos are filled with important content and instruction. The reading materials are solid texts. Dr. Paschall provides helpful hints and is incredibly responsive in the forums. I have completed 20+ courses on Coursera and I am a Coursera beta tester and I think Dr. Paschall's courses are among the best on the platform.

Learned exactly what i wanted to learn... learning to do dashboards with shiny and flex.

Things that would have made the course better (imho):

peer reviews should include code and not just the final running app. i would love to see how others have solved some items in the weekly assignements.

also, just having the screen as canvas is not as good as when you present slides or even whiteboard notes.

Very well organised course. I appreciate how simply but at the same time sufficiently the role and internal structure of all three parts of Shiny was explained. It was a solid cornerstone on which further knowledge could be built. Video and lectures were well balanced . After finishing the course, I was able to prepare my first nice web page dispalying experimental data of our lab.

I loved learning how to put together interactive figures and tables. This is something that is really going to add to the products we can offer our clients.

It was a bit of a learning curve but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run. The discussion forums for each week's assignment were fabulous as I found solutions to those last little fiddly bits I just could not get to work.

A good introduction to Shiny and flexdashboard. I love the hands-on structure of the course. What I like most about this specialization is the accessibility of the lecturer. If you post a question in one of the forums, chances are high that the lecturer or someone else takes the time and tries to answer your question within a couple of hours. Great commitment - thank you for that!

I really like Collin's teaching. He's good at taking complex things and breaking them down into pieces, providing scaffolding for us. I had tried to learn shiny on my own using tutorials and gave up. With this course I was able to return to a project I'd started a year ago and get it to work.

It was a great experience. The projects were so much challenging, anyone who have idea on advanced graphics on R can do this course. The materials were nicely structured. I had a little trouble with plots, but a little google search helped. Recommended!

This class in my opinion was much tougher to get a feel for. However, by the end of it everything was starting to click and I am excited about being able to use shiny apps and dashboards for some of my projects.
