Infographics
What is an infographic?
An infographic is a visual representation of written text to explain a concept. It’s not just about bright colours and elegant fonts but also about the process of condensing complex information into a visually appealing format. Extensive, bold diagrams and interactive learning features are added to grab the user’s attention and promote learning. Aesthetically pleasing and interactive elearning infographics can make the mundane written text more exciting and appealing to learn. Infographics can turn challenging to learn written concepts into a visual presentation that is easier to understand.
A static infographic is a stationary image, usually a flow chart, diagram, or picture. An animated infographic, on the other hand, brings these images to life with moving objects presented in a visually appealing manner. Interactive off-the-shelf infographics, a standard feature of elearning authoring tools, are typically click-to-reveal, drag-and-drop, or hot spot elements. These interactive tools encourage learners to actively engage with the content, making them more involved in their own learning process. eLearning infographics are not just aids, but active partners in helping learners understand basic concepts.
How can I use infographics?
eLearning infographics can make complex information more understandable and data more engaging. Businesses and organisations often use elearning infographics to communicate a story. Companies can promote a product or service, increase understanding of a brand, or share knowledge woven into a narrative. These visual learning tools can be shared online, in print, or presentations. When used effectively, elearning infographics, enhanced with interactive learning features, can be a potent tool for communication.

Infographic development process explained
Review existing learning resources?
Infographic planning must begin with existing learning resources because an infographic visually represents written text. Typically, this content comes from electronic workbooks or PowerPoint slides containing headings and subheadings representing the concepts to be learned. These concepts are then transformed into engaging infographics.
Review text, tables, diagrams, and figures
Any information can be transformed into an infographic, but the text must be chosen carefully. Existing learning resources should contain various concepts that build an understanding of the main idea. If the text is organised with headings and subheadings, it becomes easier to transform these concepts into infographics. Tables, diagrams, and figures already have this hierarchical structure, making them ideal for converting into engaging infographics.
Transfer information to an infographic
Once the information for the infographic has been selected, the creation process begins. The type of infographic must be chosen:
Static infographic – A stationary image that presents a concept through graphics, charts, tables, diagrams, or other visual elements.
Animated infographic – Brings the main concepts to life with moving images, illustrations, or other graphic elements.
Interactive infographic: This type of infographic engages users by allowing them to interact with the content, often through click-to-reveal elements, drag-and-drop features, or hotspots.
