Abstract

Infographics demonstrate key concepts in simple graphical form. This project assessed student responses to infographic assignments across cohorts. Students undertook a research project on a physiology topic of their choice and communicated it with an infographic poster. Students were invited to complete an anonymous questionnaire on delivery and outcomes. There were consistent positive findings on a range of aspects including that students gave more thought to information presentation and delivery to different audiences and became more critical of their own work. This approach has now been adopted by other
courses to enhance student communication skills and increase graduate attributes.
