Title: Introduction to Research Administrations Dashboards using Tableau
This session will present on how to develop basic research administration dashboards using Tableau. A sample research administration dataset will be provided in Excel for anyone who would like to work along. Using that data set the presenter will show step by step how to import the data into Tableau and how to create basic worksheets and dashboards. Calculations and filters will be shown also. Attendees should download a trial version of Tableau the same week as the conference if they would like to work along the presenter.  more » « less

    This session is a basic introduction to descriptive statistics for research administration professionals. No worries! Excel will be used throughout, nothing will be calculated by hand. Averages (means), medians, standard deviations, correlations and other basic statistical concepts will be explained using only research administration data as context. A sample research administration data set will be provided and Excel will be used to analyze the data. Some sample charts and best practices in creating these charts will also be shown. Again using Excel. This is the perfect session for anyone in research administration whose roles include analyzing data using descriptive statistics. Whether you are new to statistics or whether you can't remember a statistics class you might have taken at some point. Basic knowledge of Excel would be helpful for this session.

    As the availability of bibliographic data becomes more diverse and unique, so do the complexities of those sources. As a result, it can be challenging and daunting to analyze such data, especially from a single research analytics service request. In this session, the presenter will demonstrate examples of building dashboards to analyze data for research outputs of a college using data from a research information management system, a policy database, and a bibliographic database. Attendees will learn about the advantages of using RIM systems to perform analytics as well as their shortcomings; they’ll also learn how to export data from more traditional systems, such as policy and bibliographic databases, and import them into other systems for dashboard building and analytics.

    Rutgers University is a R1 Research Institution with $929M in Sponsored Research funding in FY 2023 and $747M in Research Expenditures in 2022 as per the HERD survey. Since forming in 2019, the Data, Analytics and Business Intelligence team within the Office for Research has grown to three members, all with the mission of providing accurate and timely data about the Rutgers research enterprise for both internal leadership and decision makers across the university. The Office for Research leadership was receiving complaints from the field about sponsored research awards taking too long to be set up. The Data, Analytics and Business Intelligence team was tasked to find out: 1. Is this a common issue? 2. Is this a localized issue? 3. What’s causing this? Our team determined that by calculating the start and end of processes, and by categorizing responsible party within those processes, we can figure out what an average user might experience and then dig deeper into the outliers. We involved IT to extract the data from the award set up system into the data warehouse, and ultimately a Tableau data source. We also met with the business team to better understand the data in their system and define how their processes should be categorized, and if any of their processes might need to change to help generate important data. The final deliverable was a published Tableau Dashboard that leadership and the business unit could access that shows turnaround time trends broken down in various ways, with the option to drill down into outliers without leaving the dashboard. Since then, we’ve been able to replicate this method across other Office for Research business units including the teams managing IRB and IACUC protocols. Our presentation would include: 1. The problem that was presented to us 2. The process we followed 3. Samples of the dashboards we created 4. The outcome and lessons learned 5. Guiding questions on how other schools can use this method and replicate it across multiple systems within their Research Offices

    The ultimate goal of using learning analytics dashboards is to improve teaching and learning processes. Instructors that use an analytics dashboard are presented with data about their students and/or about their teaching practices. Despite growing research in analytics dashboards, little is known about how instructors make sense of the data they receive and reflect on it. Moreover, there is limited evidence on how instructors who use these dashboards take further actions and improve their pedagogical practices. My dissertation work addresses these issues by examining instructors’ sense making, reflective practice and subsequent actions taken from classroom analytics in three phases: (a) problem analysis from systematic literature review (current), (b) implementation and examination of instructors’ sense-making and reflective practice (current) and (c) human-centered approaches to co-designing instructors’ dashboards with stakeholders (current). The findings will contribute to the conceptual basis of instructors’ change of their pedagogical practices and practical implications of human-centered principles in designing effective dashboards.

    This alternative format session provides a forum for human factors scholars and practitioners to showcase how state-of-the-art extended reality (XR) applications are being used in academia, defense, and industry to address human factors research. The session will begin with short introductions from each presenter to describe their XR application. Afterward, session attendees will engage with the presenters and their demonstrations, which will be set up around the demonstration floor room. This year’s showcase features XR applications in STEM education, medical and aviation training, agricultural data visualization, homeland security, training design, and visitor engagement in informal learning settings. Our goal is for attendees to experience how human factors professionals use XR to support human factors-oriented research and to learn about the exciting work being conducted with these emerging technologies.
