Abstract

One way of handling significant amounts of information is through visual.The infographics can transfer knowledge about a topic faster and more effectively than pure text; however, this condition is depending on the quality and presentation of the infographics.This paper is intended to investigate infographics in various areas and then focusing on its application in education.Besides, designing aspect of infographics was explored since it is important for designing good quality of infographics application.To achieve this objective, a total of 55 articles from four databases covering the period from 2004 to 2016 were analyzed based on their setting.The analysis showed that 30 articles discussed the infographics, eighteen articles elaborated infographics in education field, and seven articles immersed on infographics design.Infographics design techniques in various areas can be implemented in designing a good infographics application for teaching and learning purposes.
