Infographics powerfully convey content in a visual and readily understandable manner. However, as appealing as they often are, learners often spend only a brief time viewing them before moving on. Are there ways to increase an infographic’s “stickiness,” or its effectiveness to make the content better understood and retained by the learner?

In this session you will learn various techniques and designs to add interactivity and engagement to infographics. You will be able to explore various page layouts, categories of interactives, and deconstruct how several examples were developed and produced. You’ll also have the opportunity to investigate the pedagogy and brain-based research that support the use of interactive infographics.
