Tableau is a powerful data visualization software that allows users to connect, visualize, and share data in an interactive and intuitive way. It enables users to create a wide variety of visualizations, including maps. Both instructors and students qualify for free licenses of the program.
The following video is a screen recording demonstrating the creation of a heat map in Tableau. The heat map illustrates the instructor’s (Amir’s) positions in the classroom during 11 class meetings. To generate the map, you will need the spreadsheet that records the instructor’s locations in the room (e.g., podium, front left, first rows, etc.) and an image of the ‘map’ or plan of the classroom (BUCHD317).
