1 Know your audience

Before you start designing your course or workshop, you need to understand who your learners are, what their goals and needs are, and how they prefer to learn. This will help you tailor your content, format, and delivery to suit their level, background, and expectations. You can use surveys, interviews, or pre-tests to gather information about your audience, such as their prior knowledge, skills, interests, motivations, and challenges. You can also use personas, scenarios, or learner profiles to create a realistic picture of your typical or ideal learner.

It's important to remember that you are not the learner. Understanding who you are teaching is vital in creating a course that is effective. The curse of knowledge (when we assume everyone knows what we know) is rampant in course design. Because of the curse of knowledge, it's hard to remember what you needed to know when you were a learner since you have already made so many more connections between ideas, nuances, and information. Take time to step back and know your audience to ensure your course design will cater to them.

To engage the audience effectively, design an info-graphics course with key elements: charts, graphs, images for visual communication. Assess the content's relevance for clarity and brevity. Use complementary images and colors for consistency and focus. Allow white space to avoid clutter and aid readability. Consider dividing extensive content into infographic series. Prioritize simplicity for genuine engagement. Your course will deliver compelling information in a visually captivating manner.

2 Define your objectives

Once you have a clear idea of who your learners are, you need to define what you want them to achieve by the end of your course or workshop. What are the main learning outcomes or competencies that you want them to demonstrate? How will you measure their progress and performance? How will you align your objectives with the standards or expectations of your field or industry? You can use frameworks such as Bloom's taxonomy, SMART goals, or backward design to help you write clear, specific, and measurable objectives that guide your course or workshop design.

Before starting any informative graphic we need to know who is the user (audience) after that we have to follow a few steps: 1: Collect all Data 2: Try to make graphics in a story way so that it is easy to understand 3: Use sans serif font to signify something clean, minimal, friendly, or modern. 4: Use colors wisely to make infographics more powerful

3 Select your content

Based on your objectives, you need to select the content that you want to cover in your course or workshop. What are the key concepts, principles, and techniques that you want to teach? How will you organize and sequence them in a logical and coherent way? How will you balance the theory and practice of infographics? How will you ensure that your content is relevant, accurate, and up-to-date? You can use models such as ADDIE, SAM, or Agile to help you analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate your content.

To make a good infographic is necessary to always have in mind what story I want to tell, which is the protagonist of my infographic and from there, design it. It is also necessary when thinking about the content, not to stop thinking about who is going to read it, that person may be the first time he sees or reads about that topic, so as in UX, you have to think about the end user. It never hurts to have a person totally unrelated to the topic read our infographic to see how much he/she understood.

4 Choose your format

Depending on your audience, objectives, and content, you need to choose the format that best suits your course or workshop. Will it be online, offline, or blended? Will it be synchronous, asynchronous, or hybrid? Will it be self-paced, instructor-led, or peer-supported? Will it be short, medium, or long? Will it be modular, linear, or flexible? You can use tools such as Moodle, Canvas, Zoom, or Google Classroom to help you create and deliver your course or workshop in different formats.

Visual appeal: Ensure that the course itself is visually appealing. Use well-designed graphics, clear typography, and consistent branding to create a professional and pleasant learning environment.

5 Create your materials

To support your content and format, you need to create the materials that you will use in your course or workshop. What are the resources, activities, and assessments that you will provide to your learners? How will you design them to be engaging, interactive, and effective? How will you use infographics as examples, exercises, or projects? How will you incorporate multimedia, gamification, or storytelling elements? You can use software such as PowerPoint, Canva, Piktochart, or Adobe Illustrator to help you create and edit your materials.

6 Facilitate your learning

To ensure that your course or workshop runs smoothly and successfully, you need to facilitate the learning process for your learners. How will you introduce, explain, and review your content? How will you motivate, guide, and support your learners? How will you monitor, feedback, and evaluate their learning? How will you manage the time, space, and technology involved? How will you deal with challenges, questions, or issues that may arise? You can use strategies such as flipped classroom, cooperative learning, or scaffolding to help you facilitate your learning.
