  • “Digital Marketing 101” shows a lower completion rate (75%), suggesting potential barriers to course completion.

2. Pie Charts

Purpose: Pie charts are useful for showing the composition of a whole, such as the distribution of satisfaction levels or engagement rates among students.

Example 3: Distribution of Overall Satisfaction Levels

• Description: This pie chart illustrates the distribution of overall satisfaction levels among students, categorized as “Very Satisfied,” “Satisfied,” “Neutral,” “Dissatisfied,” and “Very Dissatisfied.”

3. Heatmaps

Purpose: Heatmaps are effective for visualizing data density and patterns across two dimensions, such as course effectiveness and student satisfaction.

Example 5: Course Effectiveness Heatmap

• Description: This heatmap displays the effectiveness of various courses based on student feedback, with color gradients indicating levels of effectiveness (e.g., red for low effectiveness, green for high effectiveness).
• Key Insights:
  • Courses like “Data Analysis Basics” are in the green zone, indicating high effectiveness.
  • “Advanced Programming” is in the red zone, highlighting the need for curriculum revisions.

Example 6: Satisfaction vs. Relevance Heatmap

• Description: This heatmap compares student satisfaction ratings against the relevance of course content, allowing stakeholders to identify courses that may need attention.
• Key Insights:
  • Courses with high satisfaction and relevance (e.g., “Introduction to Marketing”) are in the green area.
  • Courses with low relevance but high satisfaction (e.g., “Digital Marketing 101”) may require content updates to enhance relevance.
