Dashboard Design for At-a-Glance Monitoring Course description: Dashboards have become a popular means to present critical information at a glance, but few do so effectively. When designed well, dashboards engage the power of visual perception to communicate a dense collection of information efficiently, with exceptional clarity. This can only be achieved, however, by applying visual design skills that address the unique challenges of dashboards. These skills are not intuitive; they must be learned. Stephen Few, a leader in the field of data visualization and author of Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Display of Data (2006), will expose the common problems in dashboard design and introduce effective design practices through examples that explain what works, what doesn’t, and why.
