This chapter addresses an ongoing work strategy for developing and sharing knowledge related to digital/ Web-based technology and multimedia tools, information visualization, computer graphics, desktop virtual reality techniques in combination with art/education. It includes a large body of research about advanced and contemporary technologies and their use for stimulating individuals’ education. These interactive processes of researching, developing and sharing knowledge have been carried out through interdisciplinary and collaborative learning and teaching experiences in the context of k-12 education in a primary public school and its surrounding community. The learning and direct manipulation of advanced and contemporary technologies have improved individuals’ technical skills, stimulated cooperative and collaborative work and innovations in the way of developing school’s curriculum content as well as supported ones’ independent learning. Furthermore, there have been changes on individuals’ mental models, behavior and cultural changes related to reflecting about diverse possibilities of using information and communication technology within collaborative formal and informal sustainable lifelong learning and teaching actions.

The use of multivariate information visualization techniques is intrinsically difficult because the multidimensional nature of data cannot be effectively presented and understood on real-world displays, which have limited dimensionalities. However, the necessity to use these techniques in daily life is increasing as the amount and complexity of data grows explosively in the information age. Thus, multivariate information visualization techniques that are easier to understand and more accessible are needed for the general population. In order to meet this need, the present paper proposes Dust & Magnet, a multivariate information visualization technique using a magnet metaphor and various interactive techniques. The intuitive magnet metaphor and subsequent interactions facilitate the ease of learning this multivariate information visualization technique. A visualization tool such as Dust & Magnet has the potential to increase the acceptance of and utility for multivariate information by a broader population of users who are not necessarily knowledgeable about multivariate information visualization techniques.

OER have played a key role in the development of distance education, and even the whole education field in China in the past 20 years. Thus, the papers and the research findings on OER in China, as a part of distance education studies, can show the situation of OER and also can show the situation of distance education in China in the past 20 years.This research uses CiteSpace, an information visualization tool, to present and analyze the emerging trends in OER studies in China from 2001 to 2019. 563 papers are identified as the reference source from CNKI, the most important academic database in China. Eventually, the author comes up with the following findings: There are still lots of undeveloped land in OER study in China; Distance education institutions are the closest friends with OER studies; OER study is a good breakthrough point for pedagogy marching from macroscopic to microscopic; OER study started early in China; The studies about its development and evolution are abundant; OER studies are not specific and deep enough in China; Most of the researchers are from pedagogy; There should be more researchers from other disciplines, computer and economics for example.
