The global networked infrastructure, also known as the Internet of Things (IoT), has been embedded into various hardware and software to enable communication capabilities and serves as one of the significant influences that shape the education sector. IoT advances fundamental data visualization technologies as a game-changer for the coveted skills required for 21st century graduates. Despite the discernible pre-requisites to possess the skills, there is a knowledge and pedagogic gap where a large portion of the existing curriculum does not integrate the expected skills to successfully bridge students with the real-world and practical application. A non-experimental research design was employed in this study to examine the significance of data visualization literacy (DVL) for the students' learning process. The overarching findings underscore the importance of visual learningĝ€¯as a preferred learning approach. © 2022 ACM.
