Entry 6

Infographic is different from the video lecture. The video lecture tells the audiences complete content of its topic about how to write a story. From watching the video lecture we learn the information more detailed and directly by watching and listening, and we understand the idea better. But infographic is created to present the important data of this lecture by using static pictures and graphs which help us to get the general idea more easily and clearly. It simplifies the content of the lecture and leave out some details.

In my perspective, infographic information is easier for me to comprehend. Because the infographic shows important data clearly by providing visual pictures and graphs, so I can understand its main idea more easily. But from the video lecture, it is difficult to figure out the main points by listening to the whole long speech, for sometimes we cannot recognize what it important and what is not.

However, watching the video lecture is a more enjoyable experience than reading infographic. The infographic is static and just providing the visual data that helps to understand the main idea. But the video is dynamic and we can listen and watch how the speaker presents his idea. It is a more interesting method to learn the information by listening speaker’s expression with his own way.
