Reimagining Nearpod's Data
Designed a new Reports Dashboard for Nearpod administrators, enabling districts and teachers to access clear, actionable usage data.
Year :
2023-2024
Industry :
Education Tech
Company :
Renaissance: Nearpod
Project Duration :
3 months
Problem :
Administrators lacked clear, consistent usage data in Nearpod. Renewal decisions were slowed by fragmented reports, reliance on Nearpod representatives, and even self-run surveys. The existing system caused delays, inconsistencies, and confusion — leaving admins without a reliable view of engagement across their districts.
Solution :
As the data-engineering teams were working on centralization our available data, I designed a new Reports Dashboard for administrators, districts, and teachers. The dashboard prioritized the most critical metrics, structured data hierarchically, and delivered insights that were clear, actionable, and self-serve. This gave administrators the autonomy to track engagement, measure impact, and make renewal decisions with confidence.
Challenge :
The core challenge was balancing data complexity with clarity. Administrators needed robust reporting, but exposing every metric upfront risked overwhelming them. Usability studies revealed a better structure: surface the most valuable insights first, while keeping detailed data accessible through micro-interactions like hover states. This macro-to-micro approach made data exploration intentional and manageable, rather than noisy and confusing.
From a design perspective, the flexibility of data modules introduced another challenge. Customized timeline views, variable data availability, and incomplete stories for new users (e.g., joining mid-year) required creating multiple variations to adapt gracefully. By accounting for these use cases and edge cases, the dashboard ensured visual consistency while remaining responsive to time and context.
Summary :
The Reports Dashboard transformed how administrators access and act on data by prioritizing the most valuable insights and making them clear, intuitive, and actionable. To future-proof the experience, I designed the dashboard with a modular architecture — ensuring components could scale as Nearpod expanded its data offerings. While student outcome data was not yet available at a collective level, the flexible system prepared for that evolution, giving administrators and teachers a path toward the deeper insights they valued most.
