Infographics built in Illustrator offer a "quick win" in eLearning by providing visually engaging and efficient ways to present information. Their visual appeal captures learners' attention, simplifying complex content through a combination of images and concise text. Infographics cater to different learning styles, particularly benefiting visual learners, and enhance information retention. They enable efficient communication, allowing key messages to be conveyed quickly and facilitating easy review.
With the ability to be interactive in Articulate Rise, infographics engage learners and contribute to a dynamic learning experience. Their mobile-friendly nature ensures a consistent learning experience across devices, and the ease of sharing makes them practical for collaborative learning environments.Â
Please find below some of my recently-designed graphics within Illustrator.
Tempdent: promoting good mental health
The infographic below uses a cartoon brain as the main image; this is a relatable image that people can easily understand. The brain is a symbol of intelligence and thought, so it is a natural fit for a topic like stress. The white circles perfectly house the interactive markers within Articulate Rise, allowing the infographic to sit seamlesly in the learning.
I also design flashcards on Illustrator. Using bold text, contrasting colours, and relevant images can make flashcards more visually appealing to help grab learners' attention and aid retention. I also consciously chose images of smiling people despite the topic covering different types of depression to try and battle the misconception that those with depression are visually unhappy.
I also design certificates in Illustrator and embed these within an Articulate Storyline file. This helps enhance the sense of satisfaction for learners as they have something to show for their learning. Using the 'Data Entry' feature in Storyline, learners customise their certificate with their full name and it will automatically time stamp it too.
Paragon skills: Level 2 Adult Care
I presented the steps to a risk assessment in a landscape, process fashion to demonstrate the step-by-step procedure that needs to take place. Attributing icons to each stage enables learners to undergo the process of dual-coding to aid retention - key for Adult Care Workers as they will need to follow these processes in their everyday practice.
Below, I decided to convey the benefits of risk assessments as a circular representation to demonstrate the interconnected nature of these factors, demonstrating their collective contribution to a comprehensive whole.
The 'Labelled Graphic' interaction markers on Articulate Rise fit perfectly in the circles below, creating a seamless interaction for users.
