This link points to the University of Calgary download page for this article (because we can't have just a plain download, that would be too easy). The article itself reports on the results of a three-year visualization exercise. The authors argue that "reflective visualization practices offer opportunities for (1) deepening the role that value systems play in visualization teaching, research, and practice (including ethical, cultural, and personal values), (2) developing pedagogical activities in which diverse approaches to data visualization are used to acknowledge the role of values, and (3) nurturing critical reflective practices." I found it interesting that the learning process involved 'practice and reflection' (which probably shouldn't be noteworthy, but so much learning is done differently). And I do appreciate a good visualization. That said, I didn't link to the main page for this exercise because I found it basically unusable - not all visualizations work.
