7 Things You Should Know About Data Visualization II | EDUCAUSE
Data visualization is the use of tools to represent data in the form of charts, maps, tag clouds, animations, or any graphical means that make content easier to understand. Graphic representations of data are popular because they open up the way we think about data, reveal hidden patterns, and highlight connections among elements. Because current web applications allow anyone with access to data to enter information and easily create a virtualization of it, students, informal learners, and the purely curious can now easily create visualizations that might reveal trends that were not obvious from the numbers alone. For scholars, particularly those whose conclusions depend on interpretation of complex statistics, data visualization offers the promise of easier communication and a wider audience for their findings.

Faculty Perspective: Training and Course Development for the Online Classroom
This quantitative study focused on the perceptions of faculty currently instructing online. The sample consisted of a random selection of instructors teaching at least one online class in the Fall of 2008. Of the 300 people surveyed, 111 responded, constituting a 37% response rate. Although researchers tout the importance of training prior to teaching online, this study found that a large percentage of instructors are not receiving any training in pedagogy or technology prior to instructing their first online course. Findings also indicate that current online instructors desire ongoing training opportunities in technology and pedagogy, believe that it is difficult to convert a course from face-to-face to totally online, and think training should be required prior to instructing online for the first time. Additionally, a significant difference was found in the perceived preparation of instructors in both technology and pedagogy as a result of training prior to instructing online.
