Building Dashboards with flexdashboard

Data analysis is only effective when it is shared clearly and concisely with stakeholders. Dashboards provide a centralized way to present complex information, but building them shouldn't require extensive web development skills. This course teaches you how to leverage your existing R knowledge to create structured, responsive dashboards that bridge the gap between raw code and clear communication. You will progress from basic layouts to adding interactive components that allow users to explore data on their own. By the end of this course, you will be able to turn static reports into dynamic, professional-grade dashboards that adapt to different screen sizes and user needs.
