Journal of Educators Online, v20 n4 2023
Infographics can improve understanding and enhance critical thinking skills in readers. However, while research has been done on the importance of infographics, a gap exists regarding how creating infographics enhances student engagement and knowledge retention in higher education. Therefore, this study used a mixed-methods approach to analyze undergraduate responses after creating an infographic. Of the 189 students, 71% agreed that creating an infographic helped them retain, examine, and analyze information more thoroughly, and 62% intended to use the infographic process again. These results suggest that it is advantageous to educate students on how to create infographics to learn and convey information.
