Power BI and Ethics, Implementation and use of Predictive Analytics certificates
Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Your data might be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.
Predictive analytics relies on collecting and analyzing large amounts of personal data. It's essential to ensure that this data is handled responsibly and that students and employees' privacy is respected
