Visualizes data and tells stories with Plotly in Python for EdTech platform analysis

Original Description

This hands-on, project-based course teaches you how to transform raw learning-platform data into compelling, interactive visual stories using Python and Plotly. Rather than learning chart types in isolation, you'll work through a single end-to-end project analyzing an EdTech platform's enrollments, engagement, assessments, and revenue — so you continually see how individual visuals combine into a persuasive, data-driven narrative. You'll begin with the foundations of effective visualization and the psychology of visual perception, learning why storytelling turns charts into decisions. From there, you'll set up the Plotly environment and master both core APIs — Plotly Express for speed and Graph Objects for control — before building a complete chart toolkit organized by storytelling purpose: comparison, trend, composition, distribution, and relationship. The course then advances into geospatial maps, multi-chart layouts, dual-axis combos, interactive controls, and the design judgment needed to declutter, highlight, and visualize honestly. In the final stretch, you'll bring everything together by building and deploying a multi-page interactive Dash dashboard, complete with callbacks, cross-filtering, KPI cards, and cloud deployment. By the end, you'll have a portfolio-ready, fully interactive learner-analytics dashboard and the ability to communicate insights clearly to any audience — from executives to fellow analysts. The course spans 4 modules, 12 lessons, and 48 videos (6–8 minutes each), totaling roughly 4.5–5 hours of focused video content.
