I believe infographics are amazing assessment tools. They allow students to portray their knowledge through images and words. When students develop infographics, they must decide what information is worthy of putting in their infographic, thus it teaches them how to "pick out" important information. I have developed this particular infographic for the cell cycle as an assignment exemplar for my students (in SNC1P) who were required to develop their own infographic describing what they learned in the biology unit. PiktoChart is a great website to use for infographics. It is easy to use and has many features student's will find handy.
Infographics can be used as a formative or summative assessment tool. Personally, I would use it as an end of the chapter assignment in place of a test.
