Dr Pınar Kibar - Exploring the Intersection of Learning, Visualisation and Infographic Design

IAS Visiting Fellow Dr Pınar Nuhoğlu Kibar delivers a seminar on their research - Infographics serve as a powerful medium for integrating textual and visual elements to convey complex information in a structured and comprehensible manner. Beyond static forms, we increasingly encounter infographics in dynamic and interactive formats, such as AR-integrated infographics, animated video-based graphics, and data-driven dashboards. As Generation Alpha (Gen A) navigates an increasingly digital and visually intensive world, exposure to these evolving formats makes developing the skills to critically analyze and design infographics essential for effective communication. This seminar, led by Dr. Nuhoğlu Kibar, will examine research on visualization in education and its broader implications, presenting key findings on infographic design, collaborative design methodologies, and experimental studies using eye-tracking techniques with a focus on visual language. The session will explore the transformative role of visualization in teaching and learning, and conclude with future research directions, particularly the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into infographic design.
