Going Through the Motions

Abstract

With the learning slippage that occurred in the aftermath of the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic, learning advantages that may be achieved are a topic of special interest. The popularization of online learning has riveted focus to digital learning methods and contents. In formal higher education, various contemporary digital infographics are in use: static, motion, interactive, and immersive. This work explores some of the publicly available and open infographics used in formal learning in higher education to better understand these digital contents. The search for “infographics” is based on a popular referatory for web-hosted digital learning resources, but with a new search feature that goes beyond the curated and peer-reviewed contents that captures the newest relevant contents from the web. The works are analyzed for modalities, topics, pedagogical value, and design for transience to protect against cognitive overload. This is an exploratory research work.
