The study involved ninety-nine learners with similar demographic background who were selected using simple random sampling method. The data collection is based on methodology using quantitative and descriptive statistics. These were derived from a set of questionnaire which is the main instrument. This instrument has undergone content validity as well as the reliability testing. A pilot study was conducted with the results of 0.884 of Cronbach‘s Alpha. The findings suggested that the main learning problems encountered by learners was to execute instructors‘ assignment without proper guidelines while others found that the use of too many slides in presentation and too wordy information presented by instructors were a hindrance to their classroom learning. Besides, the study also discovered that all infographics‘ features including the use of images and symbols, good design, attractive colours, concise texts and diagram or chart can encouraged learners to understand better any learning information delivered through it. Finally, infographics application for facilitating their learning sessions was appreciated mostly due to the high suitability of infographics to make information concise and coherent, to enhance creativity and productivity, and to improve understanding and concentration in the learning session. Therefore, infographics should be promoted as one of the tools to ease learners‘ problems in learning especially those that involve learners with the tendency of having visual literacy abilities.
