"What are the implications for teaching and learning?
Many data visualization projects allow users to develop as well as interpret images. Involving students in the formulation of visualizations requires them to think in creative ways about the material at hand and how the information can be effectively communicated through shapes, colors, animations, or other visual elements. By examining data and deciding how they are presented, students might have a stronger sense of ownership of that data. As consumers
of visualizations, students have the opportunity to break out of traditional modes of thinking about data and challenge themselves to ask critical questions about what data do and do not show and about relationships between sets of data. Visual literacy is an increasingly important skill, and data visualizations are another channel for students to develop their ability to process information visually. For students and researchers, visualizations can be an important data-analysis tool, uncovering key findings that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to perceive."
