Time spent performing assessment, particularly collecting assessment information from students, is often seen as antithetical to more learning oriented activities such as lecture and project work. Assessment can be part of a good learning experience, but such benefits do not come without effort. Having students answer large

Infographics in assessments can further be expanded topromote the deeper transfer of skills to the other courses. For instance, pre-service science teachersmay be required to embody infographics in their microteaching activities. Another course-basedapproach would be to devise specific courses on infographics and, after fulfilling prerequisites,encourage all the teachers to take them.
