Abstract: An infographic is a way for teachers to organize content information and visually represent it. Since visualizing, categorizing, and describing relationships among concepts are vital to the learning process, infographics have become a popular and effective way for teachers and students to present knowledge. However, when designed with the intent to support notetaking, infographics can be an excellent tool. Utilizing the visual elements of an infographic, such as shapes around text, pictures, diagrams, and drawings, teachers can create documents that encourage students to add important definitions, complete cloze-style notes using content-appropriate vocabulary, use imagery and color to strengthen recall of information, as well as have structured spaces to explore concepts, discern patterns and represent them, and guide learning activities during a lesson.
