Creating engagement through interactive infographics

Creating engagement through interactive infographics | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

I’ve been a long term advocate of the use of infographics in education and especially enjoy thinking of ways that students can be encouraged to engage with and question the content as well as create their own graphics, so when I rediscovered Visme.co I was really delighted to find the tool that I once thought was a PowerPoint substitute for creating online presentations had turned into an awesome interactive infographic creator.

From Global Digital Citizen: "Creating great infographics need not be a chore, no matter if you’re a teacher or a student. Taking information and presenting it in an artful and visually appealing way has never been easier, thanks to Web 2.0 tools.

Before you dive in, here are some quick tips:

Collect your data. If you have been collecting data, compile it all in a spreadsheet.Decide the best way to present your data (flyer-style, bar charts, line charts, Venn diagrams, histogram, scatter plot charts, flow charts, timelines, etc.).Design a rough sketch so you don’t end up flying blind.Pick your app and get to work!"

So here is a list of 17 fantastic Infographic Generators I compiled together:...

So you want to make in infographic? 4 useful options | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

We're putting together a guide to various infographic software for our
students, so I've had cause to play around with a few. I find a lot of
tools recomended on the web just don't quite work for educational stuff
(or, indeed, library stuff); they're just too much style and not enough
substance.

61 GREAT INFOGRAPHIC PACKAGES!' which always baffles me somewhat. Maybe  it's the information professional in me, but I think if you're going to write something recommending a set of tools, you should at least narrow the number down to a recommended few...

Professional infographic designers rely primarily on a core vector graphics software program to create their infographics designs. The main advantage is that all the icons, charts, images, illustrations, and data visualizations are treated as separate objects that can be easily moved, resized, overlapped, and rotated. No matter where you create the individual design elements, the final infographic design is usually put together in a vector graphics program.
