Module 1 Activity: Create Your First Analysis Brief

Estimated active time: 45-60 minutes

Scenario

A fictional academy team wants to understand learner progress in a new course.

They have possible tables for learners, enrolments, activity events, support tickets, and feedback. The data is synthetic and safe.

Task

Use learner-resources/data-question-brief-template.md and complete a first analysis brief.

Steps

1. Choose one topic:

- learner practice time; - support tickets; - course feedback; - module completion; - weekly engagement.

1. Write one main analysis question.
2. Write three supporting questions.
3. Name the unit of analysis.
4. List at least two measures.
5. List at least two dimensions.
6. Write two possible data problems.
7. Write one thing the data cannot prove.
8. Create a notebook outline using the course notebook style guide.

Deliverable

Submit:

• completed data question brief;
• notebook outline;
• safe-data confirmation;
• one limitation note.

Quality bar

The brief is ready when another learner can understand what you will analyze, what one row means, and what the final answer should not claim.
