Infographics

Infographics or information graphics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used where complex or large amounts of information needs to be explained quickly and clearly. It is like an online version of the poster you might find at school. For a more detailed explanation, take a look at the definition in Wikipedia.
Infographics can help you create dynamic assignments by adding pictorial representations of complex information.  For spatial (or visual) learners this is a great way to represent and learn information.
