Abstract
Over the last few years, infographics have been increasingly used in emails, websites, magazines, and across social media. Originally utilized for marketing purposes, the effective infographic uses both textual and nontextual elements to communicate information in a clear, concise, and persuasive manner. With its growing presence, how can the infographic be leveraged more effectively in Higher Education? The purpose of this exploratory study is to glean best practices based on current literature on infographics, review available tools, and discuss the implications for Higher Education.
