The visual inputs we receive can be collectively called visual data. Preciselyhow one defines visual data is a key question to ask. That is one of the questionswe asked each author who wrote a chapter for this book. If one comes to a decisionwith respect to what visual data are, then the next question becomes, "What arevisual data like?" Then, "What do they mean?" As with any data, we can collectit and compile it, but if we don't have some way to bring meaning it, it has littlevalue to us. The answers may not be as straightforward as one might assume atthe outset. The extent to which visual data permeates what we do as educators is such thatit may be difficult to identify every discipline in which it emerges. In this book, we have tried to provide a forum for authors from a cross section of commondisciplines: visual arts, English, literacy, mathematics, science, social science, and even higher education administration.
