Using Infographics in eLearning

Using Infographics in eLearning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

"As Instructional Designers our key focus is to develop courses that will gain the attention of the learners, keep them engaged, and communicate the key concepts. We ensure this by using the appropriate instructional strategies and a suitable visual design approach, which is one of the key elements while developing an eLearning course. The visual design acts as a powerful tool for setting the tone of your course. It can communicate the key learnings in an effective way and keep the learners engaged. Visuals, such as images, photos, pictures, charts, and graphics can communicate the data effectively. An infographic scores even more because it present a large amount of information and data in a visually efficient and aesthetically pleasing manner while using very little text."

It’s happened to all of us: we’re presented with information and yet we forget it. Why does it happen? One of the most common reasons is because our attention is elsewhere. It’s similar to what happens when a student is attending a lecture, yet is simultaneously spending time on their smartphone. While they may be physically present in the lecture, their divided attention leads to a failure to retain most, if not all, of the information taught.
