The Neuroscience of Infographics: Why They Work and How to Make Them Work by Margie Meacham

Your brain processes information in pictures, so why not deliver learning content in graphic form? Infographics are all the rage in social media because they convey a lot of information quickly and help the audience recognize patterns, connections and themes much more quickly than would be possible with text and/or audio. In this webinar we'll explore the neuroscience of infographics and why they work. You'll learn a simple step-by-step process for creating your own infographics as well as a list of "dos and don'ts" to ensure that your next infographic is an effective learning tool. 

In this session we'll explore how facilitators can:

• tap into the subconscious instincts of your audience to gain and hold attention    
  
• motivate your audience to take action    
  
• convey complex information in visual form to make it easier to remember    
  
• use infographics in your own marketing and education programs
