HOW TO MAKE AN INFOGRAPHIC

EXEMPLAR OF INFOGRAPHIC IN AN UNDERGRADUATE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

COURSE

Purpose in the classroom•Large class (120-200) so presentations are hard•A lot of diseases easier to see 25 infographics than read 100+ pages•Synthesis of knowledge to make it applicable to patients

EXEMPLAR OF AN INFOGRAPHIC IN AN UNDERGRADUATE

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY COURSE

• Prepare the students for the assignment• This is new so videos on how to use it• Example: Piktochart has a demo, but it

watches like an advertisement• Created a video on how to use it for

students to reduce the learning curve for new technology

EXEMPLAR OF INFOGRAPHIC IN AN UNDERGRADUATE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

COURSE

Purpose of the assignment•Provide the pathophysiology of a disease

• Etiology, epi., pathological process s/sx, diagnostics, prognosis

•Has to be at the 6-8th grade reading level• Flesch-Kincaid great tool on word

•No treatments• Less is more
