3 Steps to an Infographic

Over the past few months several people have expressed an interest in learning more about how to create infographics. We’ve broken it down into a three step process that consists of:

  1. Collecting your data
  2. Working with the data
  3. Creating & sharing the infographic

We hope the video below will offer a brief snapshot of some tools and tricks to help you get started, but please feel free to contact me (hstafford@middlebury.edu) if you’d like to learn more! We are also considering offering a workshop over j-term, so let us know if this would be of interest to you as well.

Hint: Excel pivot tables are a great way to manipulate data quickly. They are not covered in this video, but you can get more info via an entire Lynda course devoted to the topic here. (Sign in with your Middlebury credentials to access.)

Multimedia Stories

Several classes at Middlebury create multimedia stories as a part of their curriculum. Want to see what students create? Check out the work of the students in Peter Lourie’s 2014 Adventure Writing J-term class here. Watch the video below to learn more about how the digital media tutors and curricular technology staff can assist with these types of projects.
