In June our #ResourceOfTheMonth was infographic tools. The benefits of infographics are that key research findings can be communicated in a very efficient and accessible way.

The first resource that we highlighted was Infogram.

The first resource is Infogram. With Infogram you can upload data from a spreadsheet into an infogram chart, infographic or map. There are a number of templates that can be used to create an Infogram. The infographic can then be embedded or shared.https://t.co/PAAzA16rSw
