Determining Design Guidelines for Instructional Infographics

• In Event: D&D - Design Principles

Short Description

Infographics are increasingly popular for efficiently presenting complex content, making them a potentially powerful instructional approach. As instructional design professors, we have a keen interest in being better consumers and designers of instructional infographics. We will share the results of our inquiry into the characteristics of effective infographics, present the resulting instructional infographics design guidelines, and describe the learning activities we now use with our students to help them design effective instructional infographics.
