Infographics can be great at breaking a complicated process into easy-to-follow steps. I made this example in Canva and matched the colors to the microlearning course I created on the topic.

It is a great example of how different media can be utilized with the same information. The mini-course goes into more depth, but the infographic gives a quick overview of the process. The goal of this infographic is to act as a reminder of the steps and be a handy reference for someone building a course.

An infographic like this could be sent to learners after finishing the micro-learning. This encourages learners to apply the information learned, increasing the likelihood of long-term knowledge retention and understanding.

• It centers the user and the learning experience, making it more likely that learners will engage with course content.
• It is goal-oriented, so the value of instruction is apparent throughout the entire process.
• It aligns instruction with assessment, increasing the rate of learner success by ensuring that instructional activities are useful and relevant.
