Education graphics, or edugraphics, are graphic visual representations of educational information intended to simplify social-cultural content, communicational content, linguistic content, etc.The use of rich visual content improves cognition, as the students comprehension is enhanced when both visual and text-based cues are combined. Edugraphics have existed since the use of learning manuals in elementary school, high school or even university.〔Histoire Géographie Education civique 2de Bac Pro - Livre élève consommable - Ed. 2013; De Michel Casta, Michel Corlin, Thierry Falconnet, Gilles Labadou, Alain Prost〕 These edugraphics, known by the term infographics or "information graphics", are used to explain different subjects (geography, history, science, biology...).〔Durandeau Hachette, 13 Mai 1998〕 They were used to illustrate some aspect of the lesson (map of invasions, timelines, internal organs, etc.), and they were drawn or made by computer graphics. == Origin == The term "edugraphic" is born from its cousin "infographic" which is relatively recent and the recent of considerable debate in the design community. The Society for Technical Communication group, describes infographics as "the translation of complex, unorganized or unstructured data into valuable, meaningful information".〔Kim Baer (2008), Information Design Workbook, Graphic Approaches, solutions and inspiration + 30 case studies. Rokport, p,12.〕 Comenius used a visual education with the publication of ''Orbis Pictus'' in 1658. Infographics made significant developments thanks to the journalistic use old newspapers〔Colmes N. (1984) ''Designer's Guide to Creating Charts and Diagrams'', New York: Watson-Guptill〕 nowadays infographics are now being used in several media and they serve to condense large amounts of information gathered from data banks that are nowadays easily found on the internet. The First International Conference on Graphics Education, was held in Alvor, Algarve, Portugal1993 with the name Edugraphics. Edugraphics on the other hand, even though the term has not yet been widely spread, were used first in text books in every country. For example, in history textbooks, the use of timelines were highly effective for its power to illustrate several historical information in one straight line. Maps showed the population of a country, its social status, etc. The images used were called "graphics", "pie-charts", "bar-charts", "maps". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edugraphic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
