A new round of CorrelAid Courses and the team behind them?
We are excited that both our courses will start for another round on 6th September.
The courses "Daten verstehen und nutzen" and "R Lernen" would not be possible without the dedication and help from our volunteers.??To give you a peek behind the scenes, we’d like to introduce you to some of our fantastic tutors over the next few months. This month, we’re starting with a few of the dedicated tutors from our Data Literacy course!
We want to give a big thank you to everyone involved!???
Discover how a?dashboard helped motivate volunteer tutors?
The CorrelAid team helped design and build a dashboard for a non-profit tutoring platform. The dashboard shows tutors metrics on their tutoring - e.g. how satisfied their?students are - and keeps them motivated to continue volunteering for more equity in the German school system. Find out more about the project.
