Abstract
In this session, we are going to employ the flexdashboard R package. Why? Because this is an easy way to make dashboards! We will begin by describing the basics of flexdashboard by iterating on the template that RStudio creates. This will provide a static dashboard that is based on basic R Markdown. The next step will be creating a dynamic dashboard by relying on the power of Shiny. This will allow the user to perform actions on the dashboard and see the updated results (graphs, tables, …). The whole process will be illustrated by analyzing a log file from the students access to a course in Aula Global.
Requirements
We will work with R 3.5.3 and require install.packages(c("Rmarkdown", "Flexdashboard", "Shiny", "DT", "stringr", "ggplot2", "alluvial", "dplyr")).
