LEC Summer Series: Using Infographics to Communicate Syllabus and Other Course Information

 

Facilitator: Rita Shea-Van Fossen, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Management, H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business & Entrepreneurship

On the first day of class, students are often intimidated by a syllabus that looks more like legal documents than an invitation to learn. This leads to students just ignoring its contents and instructors constantly saying, “it’s in the syllabus”. Infographics offer a visual option for communicating key course content in a way that is engaging and more memorable. Participants in this hands-on session will learn how to create infographics using Piktochart (Canva can also be used) to communicate course content and share ways to use infographics for learning.

Participants are encouraged to bring an informative, neglected syllabus to use in this session.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will:
• Create a FREE Piktochart account to create Infographics.
• Describe the purpose of Infographics and potential uses in the learning environment.
• Plan information and other design features to be included within an Infographic to accompany a syllabus.
• Exchange ideas of other uses of infographics in the classroom.
