One plan covers every Professional Certificate on Coursera.

This hands-on, project-based course teaches you how to transform raw learning-platform data into compelling, interactive visual stories using Python and Plotly. Rather than learning chart types in isolation, you'll work through a single end-to-end project analyzing an EdTech platform's enrollments, engagement, assessments, and revenue — so you continually see how individual visuals combine into a persuasive, data-driven narrative. You'll begin with the foundations of effective visualization and the psychology of visual perception, learning why storytelling turns charts into decisions. From there, you'll set up the Plotly environment and master both core APIs — Plotly Express for speed and Graph Objects for control — before building a complete chart toolkit organized by storytelling purpose: comparison, trend, composition, distribution, and relationship. The course then advances into geospatial maps, multi-chart layouts, dual-axis combos, interactive controls, and the design judgment needed to declutter, highlight, and visualize honestly. In the final stretch, you'll bring everything together by building and deploying a multi-page interactive Dash dashboard, complete with callbacks, cross-filtering, KPI cards, and cloud deployment. By the end, you'll have a portfolio-ready, fully interactive learner-analytics dashboard and the ability to communicate insights clearly to any audience — from executives to fellow analysts. The course spans 4 modules, 12 lessons, and 48 videos (6–8 minutes each), totaling roughly 4.5–5 hours of focused video content.

Syllabus

Module 1: Foundations of Data Visualization Plotly

Understand the principles of effective data visualization and visual storytelling, set up the Plotly environment, meet the EdTech project dataset, and build your first interactive charts using both Plotly Express and Graph Objects.

Module 2: The Chart Toolkit Choosing Building Visuals

Build a complete library of chart types organized by storytelling purpose comparison, composition, distribution, and relationship and learn to select the right chart for each analytical question using the learner dataset.

Module 3: Advanced Visuals Storytelling Techniques

Move beyond standard charts to geospatial maps, multi-chart layouts, and statistical visuals, and apply design principles that transform a collection of charts into a persuasive, honest narrative for a specific audience.

Module 4: Building Deploying an Interactive Dashboard

Bring everything together by building a multi-page interactive Dash dashboard, adding callbacks and cross-filtering, polishing the layout for storytelling, and deploying the final project with industry best practices.
