Infographics | Essential Resources
Infographics can be a valuable communication tool. As a visual
representation of data or information, infographics can effectively
tell a story, illustrate implementation, and highlight data to
emphasize key points.
Who are Assessment Capable Learners?
4. Making facts easy to remember. The visualization of
information helps learners retain information. By pairing
graphics, pictures, and data, the text is made more memorable.
5. More Engaging. Infographics can offer a more engaging way
to access information. With visual interest, the information is
more likely to be read, discussed, and shared.
Infographics can be used to introduce learners to the topic. Each
infographic gives rationale for why the practice is important and
describes implementation of the practice. The infographics can
also be used to assist a learner with revisiting the practice.
