Using Qlik Sense to solve real world problems facing education
By now, its no surprise that the pandemic altered the way students received their education around the world. Switching to a remote learning environment was stressful but for some people, it wasn't even an option due to the lack of stable internet. Forcing educators, students, and parents to depend on stable internet for the last 3 years has uncovered many gaps. To prove this, the University of Wisconsin Platteville in the United States recently surveyed local students, teaching faculty, and staff members about their internet access, their overall satisfaction of the internet service, the availability of the internet, the advertised internet speed vs their actual internet speed, and the extra monthly payment for upgrading the internet.
To analyze the results of the survey, the university used Qlik Sense and with the help of Educator @Xiaoguang Ma and his students, they were able to uncover some powerful insights. This was possible through the Qlik Academic Program who provided a year of free Qlik Sense, training, and other resources!
Overall, the top 3 insights were:
Except cable and fiber, all other internet access technologies have low satisfaction rate. By comparing Fig. 1 and 2, the zip codes with the lowest percentage of cable and fiber had the lowest satisfaction rating.
Fig. 4. reveals the uneven development of cable and fiber internet infrastructure in rural areas.
Fig. 5. shows that people in the areas without cable and fiber and willing to pay much more per month for better internet infrastructure.
