Yarra Hills Secondary College Uses AnyChart to Visualize Student Progress on Digital Data Wall
August 10th, 2021 by AnyChart Team
Leading the enterprise data visualization market, AnyChart is also widely used by not-for-profit organizations in sectors such as education. Stephen Blackwell from Yarra Hills Secondary College (Australia) has recently shown us another great example of such an application.
Data walls have become a widespread practice in schools across the globe, letting teachers track and benchmark student progress to create effective learning environment. In many cases, they are just physical. For Yarra Hills, Stephen created a digital one that supercharges the overview with the help of well-thought-out visualizations powered by our JavaScript charting library.
Stephen kindly agreed to tell us about his Digital Data Wall project and how AnyChart is implemented. Read our fresh interview below. As you can imagine the original web app is for internal use only, but if you want to take a glance here is a copy with de-identified student data (password anychArt) and this is an example of an individual student profile. (Stack: PHP/MySQL.)
