Abstract

This study, which has as its theme the instructional design applied to infographics in higher education, has the general objective of analyzing the application of principles of Instructional Design in infographics, from a study activity in the virtual learning environment of a face-to-face undergraduate course . Specific objectives are: to propose to the students the production of infographics as a study activity for the content approach; Describe infographics created in terms of classification and functionality; Reflect on the Instructional Design, specifically the use of infographics as a multimodal didactic resource. The research is qualitative and descriptive and, as categories of analysis, were used: the principles of Instructional Design, the types of graphs regarding the surface and the types of graphs as to the communicational functions. Eight infographics produced by students of a face-to-face course published in the virtual learning environment were analyzed. As a conclusion, in developing content and systematizing information through the production of a multimodal resource, learning is favored, since the student is not restricted to repetition practices of concepts. The production activity of a multimodal resource such as the infographic requires notions of visual planning and synthesis and representation skills.
