"Digitality has radically redefined the concept of  learning expanding its breadth to unprecedented extremes. New epistemologies have seen the light and with them comes a bunch of new literacies, some call them digital literacies others call them 21st century literacies, but regardless of the nomeclature, these new literacies have rapidly morphed into learning forces driving much of the learning taking place in our current era ..."

Absolutely correct! As we’re an infographic design company, we totally agree with you. Creating Infographic, it helps to communicate effectively with the target audience. They help brands communicate in a more powerful manner!
The Rice Process's curator insight, November 18, 2014 9:40 AM

I find infographics an effective way to present information and data. Because infographics use a combination of images, words, and numbers, it effectively communicates the content both verbally and visually. Learning concepts and relationships can easily be conveyed through a well-designed infographic. Infographics tap the verbal senses through words, phrases, sentences, and captions; and the images and graphic representations bombarded the visual senses. Consequently, infographics present the greatest opportunity to increase the effectiveness of what is being taught.

 

Designing visual representation of information is more than translating words to pictorials.  The construction involves filtering the information, drawing relationships, revealing patterns and representing the information as meaningful content.

Our study of nearly 100 countries reveals large gaps in selected indicators for many of these skills – between developed and developing countries, among countries in the same income group and within countries for different skill types ..."

Education is still the key to having a trained workforce. The ability to adapt the organisations' policies to incorporate better education minimum standards will assist in better acknowledgement of the minimum standard that is required by the company involved. A higher education level will lead to a higher skilled workforce through their ability to easily comprehend what is being taught to them.

"..We are witnessing a greater diversity of youth than ever before adopting and using social, mobile, and digital media technologies in the U.S.  In fact, when it comes to mobile platforms, black and Latino youth are actually more active than their white counterparts (see Pew 2013, Nielsen 2011, Kaiser Family Foundation 2010).  However, access to technology and access to information does not mean access to knowledge or higher-order thinking skills..."
