Infographic: MLA Format

The Power of Infographics

Infographics are a great way to share information in a visually appealing way.  Another great thing about infographics is that because they are created digitally and designed to live digitally, you can embed them in your site or Moodle course for student to view.  Good infographics pull the viewer in by their eye-catching visual appeal, then share important information while they hold your attention.  You can embed infographics in most any site and especially in Moodle.  Put an infographic in an HTML box on a side column.

Visual.ly is one of many sites devoted to some great infographics that you can embed in to your web site or Moodle course.  If you are not sure how to embed an infographic in to a site or Moodle course, please visit this post explaining this process.

I know what you're thinking.

"Infographics are a nice way to share data and information, but they are the Hallmark card of digital content"

They are, however, a great way to display data, visually; and that is very helpful for students who need visuals to make meaning of certain information.

There are several creators of quality infographics out there.  Here is one I stumbled on today  from An Ethical Island, while sorting through my old bookmarks:

(this is small in size for demonstration only)

By the way, because infographics are pretty hefty in size, they are designed to stay digital and be shared digitally; save the paper.  So, almost all infographics should have the ability for you to embed them right into your website or Moodle course.

If you have any questions about embedding, contact me.

Here are two other infographic-centered sites that you may find some very useful content for your students.
