Discuss why it is important to master various ways of communicating information. An Infographic is a visual way to illustrate information or data. Using basic principles of design, one can utilize images and/or brief text to engage a broader audience or a targeted audience. The Client to Global Mapping assignment will be an ongoing exercise throughout the course in which learners will be introduced to and hone skills in creating Infographics.
What:
Learners should familiarize themselves with a variety of infographics, exploring format, content, design, etc. to ready themselves for creating infographics in modules five and eight.
Each learner should select one infographic that provides educational information and/or advocacy information related to one of the topics from the Issues for Debate in Social Policy readings. Post the infographic itself or a link to the graphic by posting the URL in the discussion board and critique the infographic in 2-4 sentences. Your critique should be grounded in the expectations delineated in the Infographic Rubric.
