Flash Friday: Transform your Syllabus with Piktochart

November 20, 2015

Create a spring syllabus that students might actually read with interest!

Phil Newman, grad-entry student and learning tech artisan, presented a virtual workshop on Piktochart, a user-friendly, web-based infographics-creation program that will allow you to turn your syllabus (or any text-heavy document) into a visually engaging piece of information that will focus the reader’s attention on key points.  Phil demonstrated how he took a real .syllabus from a faculty member’s spring course and transformed it into a visually engaging piece of information that will focus the reader’s attention on key points. Are you interested in learning how to take your text-laden documents from underwhelming black and white pages to visual blocks of information that highlight important content?  Contact me (Joni Tornwall, tornwall.2) for a link to the recording of Phil’s presentation.
