Infographics for visualising research data

4 July 2017

I’ve been compiling the data from my PhD study. It’s a systematic review of the literature to answer the question: 

What kinds of enablers and constraints impact disadvantaged learners’ experience and outcomes of Open Education programs?

I have some descriptive statistics about where the programs and papers are from (not all Global North, phew, not a good look for a Critical Inquiry). Also I crunched the numbers regarding how many students were involved (big numbers, exciting big numbers…) and then started counting types of outcomes… and so on.

So to try and communicate this in a compelling way I’ve been getting back into Piktochart which makes infographics. And getting some good feedback. Examples below. What do you think? What do you use to make your data pretty?
