Course overview

IBM moves from individual figures toward an interactive reporting application. The syllabus introduces common chart types and customization, then mapping with Leaflet and dashboards with Shiny. The estimated twelve-hour workload makes this a focused continuation after R basics.

What you will learn

  • Select and customize charts for different variables.
  • Display geographic information with a Leaflet map.
  • Connect an interactive dashboard interface to server-side R behavior.

Who this suits

R learners who want to communicate findings through charts, maps or a dashboard.

Before you enroll

The course is marked beginner, but its prerequisites are not specified. Check your confidence with R objects and packages before starting the dashboard section.

Put it into practice
