TTS Spring 2024 Infographic Consultation Sessions

The TTS research team recently hosted two Infographic Consultation Sessions aimed at supporting students in their infographic projects. The first session focused on providing a pep talk, encouragement, and revisiting commentary, while the second session aimed to deliver individual feedback on students’ infographics.

The first Infographic Consultation Session for Spring 2024 took place online on Friday, February 26th. This session aimed to re-energize students, offer encouragement, and revisit previous commentary. Given that students had a two-week break from working on their infographics, we used this session to remind them of key infographic concepts and address any issues in their current work.

The second Infographic Consultation Session for Spring 2024 occurred online on Friday, March 1st. This session focused on providing individual feedback on students’ infographics. All three classes participated, and students were divided into 26 groups, each with 2-4 members. Following the first consultation session, students had been working intensively on their infographics, starting with drafts on paper and then converting them to PowerPoint versions. Nearly all groups had completed 50-80 percent of their infographics by this time. During the session, Cindy met with each group for approximately 8-10 minutes. She provided constructive feedback and suggestions on their designs and engaged students with questions about their experiences in creating infographics.
