Description

Welcome to the Blue River Analytics Spotfire video series! As of Fall of 2019, we’ve completely revamped our courses and are excited to share them with you. They are now in Spotfire X, and have been restructured with the addition of new content and a focus on ease of student access and navigation. We strongly feel this last feature will positively impact every student’s experience; with clickable “chapters” within our videos and a corresponding course outline, users will now be able to find the topic they’re interested in and navigate directly to that section of video within seconds. Each course also comes with a .dxp preloaded with industry-specific data. All of the video lessons correspond to lessons in the .dxp so that students can follow along as they go through the video lessons.

There will always be pros and cons to in-classroom vs. online education. However, it is safe to say the last decade has exponentially increased the efficacy of remote education, and more and more students globally are finding online video education superior. We feel that for complex technical topics, there are many “pros” to learning through videos. Come see for yourself in the Blue River Analytics Spotfire series!
