Introduction
Data from EdTech platforms have a tremendous potential to positively impact student learning outcomes. EdTech leaders are now realizing that learning analytics data can be used to take decisive actions that make online learning more effective. By using the EdOptimize Platform, we can rapidly begin to observe the implementation of digital learning programs at scale. The data insights from the EdOptimize Platform can enable education stakeholders to make evidence-based decisions that are aimed at creating improved digital learning systems, programs, and their implementation.

EdOptimize Platform is a collection of 3 extensive data dashboards. All 3 Dashboards are devloped using R Shiny and all the code right from the beginning with data simulation and data processing is R native . These dashboards contain many actionable learning analytics that we have designed from our years of work with various school districts in the US.

Here are the brief descriptions of each of the dashboards:

1. Platform Analytics: To discover trends and power users in the online learning platform. You can use the user behavior data in this platform to identify actions that can increase user retention and engagement. See the dashboard in action here: https://playpowerlabs.shinyapps.io/edopt_platform_analytics/
2. Curriculum Analytics: To identify learning patterns in the digital curriculum products. Using this dashboard, you can locate content that needs change and see classroom pacing analytics. You can also look at assessment data, item analysis, and standards performance of the curriculum users. See the dashboard in action here: https://playpowerlabs.shinyapps.io/edopt_curriculum_analytics/
3. Implementation Analytics: To track the implementation of the digital programs in school districts. This dashboard will help districts make the most out of their online learning programs. See the dashboard in action here: https://playpowerlabs.shinyapps.io/edopt_implementation_analytics/
