“…For the infographic assignment, the students were asked to create an infographic that is visually appealing, quick to read, easy to understand, and contains information about at least one organic molecule present in a consumer product. We suggested that the students start by browsing Compound Interest 14 for content and style ideas, noting that the website should be used for inspiration only and that the content should not be duplicated.…”

“…Recent studies have shown that infographics can be useful teaching aids, leading to enhanced student learning . Student-generated infographics have been implemented at the undergraduate level in public health, economics, and communications, as well as in high school science classes . Through the efforts of Andy Brunning and his website, Compound Interest, , the number of high-quality chemistry-focused infographics has significantly increased in recent years.…”

Infographics are increasingly used to communicate complex topics to the public. By coupling visually appealing graphics with compelling narratives, infographics can both engage and inform the audience. We designed an assignment wherein students create infographics with the dual purpose of helping them connect course concepts to their daily lives and practice science communication. Most students focused on compounds found in food, beverages, cosmetics, and medicine. The infographics were assessed based on the effectiveness of the layout, the quality and clarity of the graphical and textual content, and the reliability of the cited sources. Student reflections on the assignment revealed strong connections between their course learning and their infographic topics. Although this assignment was part of a college laboratory course, it can be adapted for alternative settings.

“…Mitchell, for instance, tasked her students to create infographics about chemical reactions, finding that students became “competent in information literacy and communication skills” by doing the assignment . VanderMolen and Spivey also found benefits to research skills, learning strategy, and communication from having their students create infographics . For the task, students had to research and present a topic of their choosing within a health-economics course.…”

Students were asked to each create an infographic on the basis of one of their host department's research articles as a new exercise within the "science communication" training program of the University of Leicester's undergraduate chemistry degree. The use of local articles helped to connect students to the research of their lecturers, and the assignment helped to contextualize why certain lecturers had been chosen to teach their allocated subjects. Students also agreed that the activity helped them to recognize what research is associated with the traditional inorganic-, organic-, and physicalchemistry lecture themes. There was some benefit to this approach in helping students distill out key information.

IntroductionInfographics, an abbreviated term for informational graphics, are visual representations of complex ideas or concepts. They have long played a role in the dissemination of ideas from various fields, such as business and arts. However, infographics have had an increasing role in the health care field and medical education, both for professionals and patients. To date, there is limited evidence on the use of infographics in the pharmacy profession. Conversely, the evidence is emerging for their use in other health care fields as an innovative strategy for education, dissemination of research, and public information.ObjectivesIn this narrative review, we aim to summarize the basic principles of infographic design, the role of infographics in education and research dissemination, and the role of amplifying audience reach through sharing infographics on social media.MethodsMedline and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles between 1969 and 2020 relating to infographics, healthcare, research and education then screened by all authors for their relevance to pharmacy practice.ResultsThis narrative review discussed the supportive literature for the role of infographics in patient education, higher‐level education, and research dissemination with a closing discussion on the intersection between social media, infographis and education.ConclusionThere is evolving evidence to support the use of infographics in patient education, research dissemination and higher‐level education. More research is needed to identify the role and impact of infographics in pharmacy education and clinical practice settings.
