Information + Graphic

Infographic is a visual representation of information or data. It's a collection of images, charts, minimal texts that give an easy-to-understand overview of a topic. 
But what's the point of infographics?
Well, they give the essential directly. They don't say it in a roundabout way, with tons of transitions, etc. They grab readers' attention and don't let it go. 
Plus, since it's visual, it retains in memory longer! 
They are really easy to prepare. I think infographics should be used as a tool in ELT because long texts only scare students and make the subject look too difficult to learn or to understand. Having a brief summary in the form of an infographic helps students to schematize the topic and get it better and faster. 
I've made an infographic about how to survive online education for other university students as target public. 
I used, again, Canva. :) 
You can see my first infographic try below. Click here to see a clearer image. 
I hope you'll like it and try with your students.
