I am pleased to introduce Angel Monjaras as the Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2024! Angel is a Professor of Business Intelligence at Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo De Mexico (ITAM), where he’s been using Qlik in his teaching for seven years.
For this year’s iteration of his course, he is debuting a BI Best Practices Catalog on Qlik Sense that will enable students to find the most common metrics and dimensions for each business area and / or industry.
According to Angel, “This will free up class time to delve into Data Literacy and AI topics that will help students feel comfortable speaking about data, and help them stay grounded and focus on real issues and solutions, instead of jumping on the many bandwagons, buzzwords, and false promises headed their way.”
While he’s always integrated Qlik software, the past couple of years, he started to integrate some of the learning exercises from the Qlik Academic Program, “Students perform various exercises and homework, including regression analysis, visualization best practices, common visualization pitfalls, and data quality. They also design a dashboard from scratch as part of a practical course-long BI project. We use some exercises taken from QCC and the Data Analytics Curriculum, since they provide good sample data.”
Angel’s passion for Qlik goes beyond his own classroom, he has been introducing new educators from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and other universities to Qlik. Angel has conducted introductory workshops for students. Angel plans to share his knowledge even further this year, by continuing to conduct open workshops for any student at his university to join.
Angel is a 2024 Qlik Luminary and will host a session in Qlik Connect this year: “C40: Taking our world-changing work to the next level with Qlik Cloud”
For Angel, one of the most rewarding parts of teaching Qlik has been seeing his students leave university and get jobs, become Qlik customers, and even fellow professors.
