The state of literacy in Nova Scotia: an interactive dashboard

The project aims to develop an interactive dashboard to accompany a report on the state of literacy in Nova Scotia to be produced by Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS), as a means of quickly communicating key information for policy decision-makers and internal stakeholders. Through a participatory design program, we will engage with internal and external stakeholders to design a dashboard that will address the user’s information-seeking needs. In contrast with usability evaluation, we will focus on learning and comprehension as measures for evaluating the effectiveness of the dashboard. Expected outcomes will be a working dashboard for data exploration for LNS stakeholders.
