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.

• How to leverage visual perception so your graphics are easy to perceive and process
