The following table shows the three topics, each one divided into four lessons:

The first topic analyses the more general aspects concerning the design process and the basics in visual design that are useful to improve the User eXperience (UX) with infographics (and more in general with interactive or multimedia products and systems). This knowledge is necessary to adequately learn how to deal with the different design steps and how to manage the different visual design basic elements that should be accurately considered and applied when creating an infographic. Indeed, the focus on the user in the design process and the visual design basics in UX represent the foundations allowing to make correct choices when developing an infographic.

During this first part, examples and activities concerning natural and cultural heritage will be proposed to show how visual elements can be used to improve the awareness about and the experience with the heritage.

The lessons of the second topic are more focused on the visualization of data and information and on the practical realization of an infographic.

First, infographics and data visualizations are introduced as effective ways of communicating and facilitating the understanding of different kind of issues, including those related to natural and cultural heritage. Moreover, some suggestion about how to make information visualization truly effective are provided. Next, the following lessons show different ways of visually represent data and information, considering some different practical applications of information visualization. In addition, some online tools for creating infographics and data visualizations are presented. Lastly, one lesson is dedicated to explaining key steps in creating infographics, using a graphics software and some free online repositories as an example. In the end, students will be able to create infographics that can be uploaded on the O-City World platform.
