Infographics as A Learning Tool in Higher Education: The design process and perception of an Instructional Designer

Abstract

Infographics, as an instructional tool, enable support in the creation of an easy to read platform for learners. Steps involved to develop an infographic, play an essential role in optimizing visual literacy transfers. This study has presented a qualitative analysis of the proposed design strategy, which focuses on the infographic development process. The results have proposed that Infographics assignment design when included in instructional technology disciplines, helps instructional designers to enhance message delivery during visual transfers that eventually leads to increased learning interests among learners. The study also revealed five vital themes that emerged upon analyzing the collected data from participants involved. The present study has provided research scholars, an insight of the developed state-of-the-art tool, which in future research studies might serve as a basis for the development of an Instructional Infographic model.

Infographics and independent learning for English learning in the secondary level context

“…The score obtained in the expert judgment belongs to the very good media based on the level of accomplishment. Other research related to infographics was also carried out by Alyahya (2019). Her research found that infographics are good as a teaching media to be implemented in the teaching and learning process.…”

“…Regarding the content presented, the information provided will be more focused on important points in each discussion topic. Thus, it makes the teaching process more effective (Alyahya, 2019).…”

“…The second is the study of developing infographics as teaching media from Alyahya (2019). The discussion from that study is about the process of designing infographics as a learning tool.…”

“…The discussion from that study is about the process of designing infographics as a learning tool. Alyahya (2019) conducted research in developing infographics as a teaching medium. Based on her research, the infographic was developed at the university level.…”

The Effects of Media Literacy-Based Activities on Writing Skills in the EFL Classroom

“…Multimedia technologies have led to a fundamental shift in the concept of literacy. A variety of terms describing new perspectives regarding literacy have emerged, including media literacy (Bilosterkovets et al, 2021;Dvorghets & Shaturnaya, 2015), digital literacy (Andriushchenko et al, 2020;The Aspen Institute, 2009;Patti, 2020;Tabieh et al, 2021), visual literacy (Alyahya, 2019;Peña & Dobson, 2021), and multimodal literacy (Camiciottoli & Campoy-Cubillo, 2018;DePalma & Alexander, 2018;Wawra, 2018). There are slight differences between these terms, but their core impetus is similar.…”
