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 engagement data by prioritizing clarity, relevance, and actionability. Designed with a modular architecture, the system was built to scale as Nearpod expanded its data offerings and analytics capabilities — laying the groundwork for richer student outcome insights.
Following launch, the redesigned dashboard became a key driver of customer retention and renewal:
Retention: District and school admin engagement increased by 42%, with more consistent logins and session frequency throughout the academic year.
Renewals: Accounts using the dashboard for regular reporting renewed at a 30% higher rate than those that did not — validating the link between insight access and long-term platform value.
By turning complex data into a clear and motivating narrative for educators, the experience positioned Nearpod as not just a classroom tool, but a decision-making platform that helps schools measure and communicate impact.
