Do you know how to create an effective diagram? Can you create a graph that tells a story? An important skill in our field is the ability to convey abstract concepts, statistics and data in a meaningful way. Visualizing abstractions can improve comprehension and facilitate learning. It’s important to know how to design the best type of graphic to meet your learning goal.

In this webinar, we will explore how people perceive and process information graphics. We will look at different types of diagrams, charts and graphs and match them to the type of learning they facilitate. We will examine what goes into designing an information graphic, how to choose an appealing visual style, and some of the resources that are available for information graphic creation.
 
OBJECTIVES
In this session, you will learn:

• How to leverage visual perception so your graphics are easy to perceive and process
• How to match the graphic type with the learning goal
• A design process for creating information graphics

I help people learn and improve their instructional design skills so they can gain confidence and proficiency in this field. My super power is breaking down complex material into clear explanations. I’ve helped hundreds of people gain competence in instructional design and I’d love to help you.

I’ve had my own ID business for 20 years, wrote two books on visual design, publish The eLearning Coach website and podcast, and was honored with the Guild Master award for contributions to the industry.
