Project Checkpoint 6

For this second check-in, you will build on the dashboard shell you created last week by adding interactivity and incorporating a new country-specific dataset. All additions should be integrated into your existing Quarto dashboard—this is not a new project, but a continuation and expansion of your current work.

Data on a Specific Country

This week, you will choose one country from your original dataset to acquire additional information on. The country you choose is required to meet *at least one of the following criteria:

• An outlier
  • A country that is unusually high or low or behaves differently than others in your dataset.
• A representative case
  • A country that reflects the global or regional trend particularly well.
• A case of change
  • A country that shows substantial change over time.

Before finalizing your country choice, verify that you can obtain additional country-specific data suitable for a dynamic visualization!

For this checkpoint, your group should:

On the main page:

• Create a leaflet map visualizing information from your original dataset (from Project 1).
  • This map should be thoughtfully integrated into the existing structure of your dashboard. That might mean some reshuffling of last week’s dashboard!

On a (new) second page:

• Acquire and incorporate new country-specific data relevant to your project.

• Include a short “Why this country?” section (2–3 sentences) on your dashboard.

• Create at least one dynamic visualization (e.g., an animated plot or a plotly interactive graphic) using the new country-specific data.
