New Data Types and New Data Interfaces: Rethinking Learning with Data
8:25 – 9:05 PM, Bates College
Working with data is a critical 21st century skill. Unfortunately, far too many students and teachers still examine data in spreadsheets using unwieldy or limited visualization tools. In the meantime, data has evolved. Today’s datasets can be large and include data with complex structures and interrelationships, or the data may vary in both space and time. Ongoing research by the Concord Consortium and our colleagues is paving the way for novel interfaces and approaches that make such data explorable in new ways.
