Abstract
Creating info-posters or infographics on science themes, topics, or issues can be used to teach skills that develop students’ creativity and ability to communicate science to the public. The ability to transmit scientific data to a generalist audience or a certain target group is one of the soft skills that need to be cultivated among our students. This article presents simple assessment tasks to create info-posters or infographics.Keywords
