By Hunter Stillwell

presenceViz is a visualization of NuVu attendance data that encourages timeliness by displaying an aggregate of student attendance per studio.

This project aims to make attendance data more visible to everyone. By drawing attention to each studio's average attendance each week, it will make all students consider the effect inconsistent attendance has on them. It will also make it easier for coaches to see how much time students spend in studios. It includes several different visualizations to show attendance over time, per studio, and a weekly overview of all attendance that would serve as a sort of scoreboard.

These data visualizations are made in p5.js, and the mock attendance data is stored in a JSON file. The p5 sketch loads the JSON file, then counts the number of students marked as Present, Late, Absent, or Dismissed in each studio on each day. It then draws one circle for each studio each day and colors sections of the circles based on the attendance counts. For example, a one week overview of three studios would be a five by three grid of circles.
