Big Data

ISECON 2014 Presentation: Experiential Learning using QlikView

RJ Podeschi Performance Learning, Tech , , ,

I had a great presentation on Qlikview today at ISECON 2014 in Baltimore. I met an amazing group of educators who are passionate about their discipline and supportive in the efforts undertaken by their colleagues. I received great feedback on my presentation and paper, and learned how Big Data can could be applied in our curriculum through other presentations. I got to see a little bit of Baltimore through the lens of the Inner Harbor in addition to networking and learning.
