I use a lot of posters to create a big picture or a wholesome delivery of the content.

Enclosed an example by a state university - The One Percent at State U

http://www.ips-dc.org/one_percent_universities/

I have asked students to CREATE infographics, because that requires them to actually summarize concepts and gives me a sense of what they identify as important. However, even with online templates, I find that mastering the medium is challenging for many. Still, the higher-order thinking (more than just reading something, but summarizing it visually) is a good formative task in their learning. I prefer to have them use https://www.easel.ly/ over other tools since it contains templates (better than most comparable "free" infographic software IMO), and is free.

I think Infographics are necessary if not mandatory in  the teaching   

Infographics are  good tool to let students and others understand and remember the concept 

Dear Debra Sharon Ferdinand, 

Infographics - visualization of data or ideas, the aim of which is to convey complex information to the audience a quick and intuitive way. addition means infographic images may include graphs, charts, flow charts, tables, maps, lists.

Features:

Graphic objects associated with the information provided, or is a graphic expression of the trends;

changes in reported data;

Useful information load;

colorful performance;

intelligible and meaningful representation of the theme.

Practitioners designers identify several aspects  accounti which allows you to make a successful infographic:

Timeliness

Attractive, clear theme

Soft, beautiful, efficient design

Convenience Distribution

Accounting for the target audience

The numbers can speak for themselves

Internal integrity

Emotional colors

Quality chart

The choice of scale

Creating history

Selection of interesting facts

Visualization

simplification

Using the Timeline

Defining the concept and objectives

The credibility and reliability of sources

Account reviews from customers

I use infographics in the learning process and it is very useful for students.

"Microsoft’s Impact on Education Infographic

Microsoft’s Impact on Education Infographic

From teachers and school leaders to governments and communities around the globe, a massive effort is underway to modernize and transform education. This transformation is a long journey, full of unexpected twists and turns, lessons learned and best practices. Microsoft is partnering with schools and campuses that are working to transform and modernize teaching so that students are inspired to learn and are prepared for their next steps. Microsoft is also making sure that educators are empowered with effective technology. Take a look at The Microsoft’s Impact on Education Infographic above for complete details about the impact Microsoft is trying to make on the education sector by offering various of its services and products at attractive discounts for students and teachers alike — apart from the partnerships and programs it conducts.

Microsoft’s Impact on Education

Today, over 20 million students in 55 countries have digital access through partnerships with Microsoft. Over 110 million students and teachers are using Office 365 at school and at home to create, collaborate and communicate. And nearly 1.5 million educators from 235 countries are members of the Microsoft Educator Network, giving them a unique opportunity to share best practices, and to learn from their colleagues’ successes — as well as their mistakes.

In spite of undeniable progress, more than 72 million children around the world remain unschooled. This statistic is even more troubling when you consider that global youth unemployment stands at a staggering 13 percent.

At Microsoft, they have an ambitious company-wide commitment to create opportunities for 300 million young people. In addition to our widely-used software and hardware, programs like YouthSpark have helped over 227 million youth in over 100 counties since it launched in 2012. And, over 1.65 million students have taken the Imagine Cup challenge to solve the world’s toughest problems with innovative technology.

Creating a better future for today’s young people is a long-term commitment Microsoft is vested in alongside teachers and school leaders who come to school each day to make a difference. Microsoft stands alongside those educators, with the very same objectives. At Microsoft, they believe that every child deserves a quality education, and through our products, services and programs, they are working to make that happen. The numbers speak for themselves."

Using infographics in HE teaching is a common approach for many of us. It is a fine and effective way for data visualization. There are different ways of making infographics. Mostly, I do insist that students make infographics with my help. Selected posters are on the walls of my lab. It is powerful way for sharing knowledge!

Is a great graphical tool for teaching...

Dear Debra,

my experience in using infographics is very good, because there are many different levels to deal with: First when showing them. Then when presenting the printed indographics. And Third, when using the knowledge about a discussed theme to construct contents and layout for a infographic by the students themselves. I think, it will be a very good use of the principle of "larning by doing".

I hope, it was helpful for you.

With all good wishes for you, volker

We use them in our online virtual program for a variety of purposes, often to summarize or to provide an overview.  I am thinking of using them for students to summarize research papers.  Nice way for them to focus on the key points made, limitations and implications.  The one issue I have is that I haven't found an easy to use "quick" intuitive tool - There are lots our there, but I find most to be awkward, cumbersome and not intuitive.

Halo Debra, I haven't use infographic in my class to teach yet but, I make it as a task in my Multimedia class. They should create an infographic about a topic in a subject then they submit it. It can examine their understanding about the topic and increase their creativity because they combine images, colors, type of fonts, movement, and so on. Then, I publish their works at digital signage system on my department, so not only in their class, but also all of the department member can see the infographics.

Dear Debra

I have not used infographics in my class, but this question is helping me to familiarize myself with this technique that will surely take her to my classroom someday.

Debra, thank you very much for this question.

Dear Montserrat Hernández-López 

Please,  try  them  instantaneously you will  enjoy  using them  

Ishad:

Do you have templates for infographics that you can share with Montserrat and the rest of us?

many thanks,

Debra

Hi, Debra.

Great question. I think one of the problems with infographics is that the technical tools make it so easy to create them that issues of relevant design and effective communication of information are relegated in importance. I am a devotee of Edward Tufte and Donald Norman in this regard, and I feel that merely having access to the tools does not (automatically) confer the skills required to do the job well.

Last year I analyzed a particularly poor infographic; the document is here:

http://alongfellow.blogspot.com/2015/10/issues-in-data-visualization-analysis.html

I am currently preparing an infographic for my students that illustrates trends in social media activity amongst a small group of students. The objective is not to make a strong case for or against any specific social media sites, but rather to demonstrate how information can be presented in an honest and meaningful manner -- using graphics to strengthen understanding.

In my teaching work, the problem with creating infographics is two-fold.

Of course, neither of these things stops me from doing it!, as evidenced by the second link, showing a modification to the MYP design cycle diagram commonly found in IB schools.

http://alongfellow.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-myp-design-cycle-5-stages.html

"Effective Teaching: 5 Ways to use Infographics to Keep Your Students Occupied

An educator’s job is getting harder and harder. The fact is that students can find out practically anything within seconds, so providing them with a new piece of information can be quite challenging. This situation also affected their attitude about learning – somehow traditional schooling seems excessive if you can already learn everything there is to know about a subject online. No matter what subject you’re teaching, you need to come up with innovative ways to grab their attention. Trying to be like their parent or acting like an unreachable authority figure (Respect my authority!) will probably only drive them away.

"How to Use Infographics in High School Classrooms

What are infographics again? Infographics are visually simplified representations of complex data, aiming to engage interests, and deliver an easily understandable message. Imagine a simple photo communicating a thousand words to a person (now that is a good metaphor for infographics!). You might be thinking of using infographics as a visual aid to let your students digest your lesson. But there is a lot more you can get out of using infographics.

Instead of spoon-feeding your students with your infographic lessons, why not try to pluck them out of their regular and normal habits and take them out of their comfort zones. Go ahead and ask them to create their own infographic. Let them break down complex information. Let them decide which symbol, image or text to use to create an attractive and effective infographic. When students are advised to create their own infographics, they are more likely to practice their informational, visual and technological literacies.

According to research conducted by Sidneyeve Matrix (Queen’s University), and Jaigris Hodson, (Ryerson University), an infographic assignment inspires students to practice strong multimodal communication skills – without requiring you, the instructor to rehearse basic composition lessons. Furthermore, an infographic assignment serves as an experiential learning tool that can allow students to apply key competencies necessary for the digital skills class. What competencies are they referring to? Two are content curation and content production. As cited, an infographic assignment also needs good level of critical content analysis, audience identification and message construction. All of these can help your student learn a multitude of skills related to professional communication. Wouldn’t you want to influence them in so many different ways?"....

Dear @Debra, this is nice infograph about scientific sharing and downloads. So many facts!

https://www.elsevier.com/connect/still-unleashing-the-power-of-sharing

While sharing new, interesting and insightful data is the beginning of a good infographic, you can’t forget about the graphic component. It is important that your infographic both look professional and be visually interesting. If you don’t have a graphic artist on staff, and don’t have the talent yourself, there are many online sources that can help.

https://paysimple.com/blog/businesses-benefit-infographics/

Infographic highlights the notion of multimodality where meaning making is enhanced visually. Students prefer content to be delivered via visual elements since they dwell in social media and gadgets. Infographic is preferred by students and adults as well. I teach using infographic and it has a made a great difference in promoting students understanding in ESL.

"Using Infographics in the Classroom

Infographics – representations of information or data in a graphic format designed to make that information easier to understand – have technically been around for a very long time. (Pie chart, anyone?) But the development of several free, easy-to-use online design apps in recent years has opened the practice to a wide range of innovative applications, including the classroom.

Check out a few examples of effective infographics here and here, if you’d like a better idea of what these more involved infographics look like.

So how do infographics work in the classroom? You can create them yourself as the instructor and use them in their traditional mode -- as a way to help your students understand complex ideas or information that you want them to learn. All students will appreciate your efforts to make material more approachable, and the additional visual medium might well provide a stronger sense of connection to the ideas for those who are more comfortable with visual media than traditional lecture or readings.

In addition, you can also use infographics as a way to present course assignments in a more visual way, which is how I’ve been using them in my courses. I find this “show, don’t tell” method helps students understand at a glance what I need them to know about assignment expectations without making them dig through a lengthy descriptive document. Here’s an example of an assignment infographic I used a few semesters ago:"....
