The General Education Program dashboards give an overview of the Learning Outcomes and Grand Challenge Overlay within the General Education Program at the University of Rhode Island. The dashboards were created using Power BI, a data visualization tool from Microsoft. Enrollment data was obtained from Enrollment Services for the spring 2023 semester. The dashboard provides insight to the number of courses and course sections, distribution of courses among course levels, and courses offering the most sections within each learning outcome. The dashboards can be used for obtaining a broad overview of the distribution of General Education courses.
