Abstract

This proposal tries to respond to some needs, fundamentally, to rethink new strategies for the transfer of knowledge in the classroom. Infographics are a good ICT resource, which, can be used as a study technique as it is a synthesis work that amasses various knowledge and adds images. This initiative can be valuable considering the process of transformation of teaching experienced as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Whenever something has to be explained, both complex and simple, there is the resource of infographics that attracts due to its colors, shapes, elements, distribution, etc. It is very interesting to use in education. The use of infographics is increasingly widespread, in a knowledge-based society where there is more and more information and the most important thing is not to be able to memorize it, but to be able to discriminate which is the correct and important information. Our thinking is visual and we are able to better understand the ideas that arise through visual concepts and not only through abstract concepts. With this, classes could be improved, made more enjoyable and fun, where students are able to remember a certain illustration, graph or map of the infographic to explain complex concepts to define. Not all topics can be of interest with the same type of intensity, or students at some point can lose the thread, that's why infographics are a good resource to present a topic in an attractive way, getting the public to understand the keys that are presented, that does not go unnoticed and that improves student learning.
