Examples of Interactive Slides
Interactive slides provide an interesting way to display multiple levels of data. You can click on the thumbnail image on the left to go to a full page display of the interactive slide. The slides have menus or selectors which enable the viewer to choose from a list of variables and see the resulting graphic representations of the data. The slides work in PowerPoint presentations, Adobe PDF documents and HTML as displayed below. As you slide your mouse over the charts and graphs you can see the display of the data represented in the graphic.

Value to Assessment. In the community surveys, respondents are given a list of items to value. They do so by using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being Not Important and 5 being Very Important. At the end of the survey, they are given the same list but asked to evaluate how well their community is performing with each of these items, the 1 - 5 scale now being Very Poor to Very Good. Results are then plotted on a scattergram to see which items are meeting expectations and which need improvement.
When surveys are repeated every 2 - 3 years, we can look at how responses to questions are changing over time. In this Town of Frisco example, we can see some specific changes in demographics and changes in values.
This Eagle County model can examine future projections in demographics. The sliders on the bottom allow the user to adjust forecasts for population growth, job growth, and labor force participation to view the resulting numbers of commuters that the county will need to fill the resulting jobs.
