Ep 28: Learning Analytics, Economics and the Future of Work with Daniel Hall - a podcast by John David Ariansen, Elizabeth Illig

John David interviews Daniel Hall, Chair of the Department of Economics at High Point University, about using data to make better decisions. They talk about the future of work where data will impact every job, how to train business students to be fluent in data, and how to learn data analytics.

Here is the outline for the conversation(we may have varied slightly from this format):
1. Finding the Economics and Data Analytics Intersection – Economic Decision-Making with Data
2. How all analytics jobs will require some data analytics skills – Training business majors to be the middlemen between quants and the C-Suite – Why Tableau/Power BI and SQL are essential
3. Data Analytics Education and– online vs. face to face – I taught my first Tableau course F2F and 2nd online due to COVID so I could talk about my course design and experience
4. Higher Ed analytics consulting - I’m interested in doing some Higher Ed Analytics consulting on the side, so what recommendations would you have for getting my foot in the door?
5. Non-profit analytics
