Students could combine statistics gathered from their own playthrough of a game, pair that with some well-researched real-world data, and then package it up in one snazzy infographic. Of course, students couldn't be expected to create something comparable to the graphic here, but it would certainly allow them to flex their creativity and their research skills without having to writer a lengthy composition.
I'm sure as a student I would have been much more excited about making an infographic for homework than I would have been about writing yet another paper, even though I'm not an especially gifted artist. Still, I'd love to hear the thoughts, both good and bad, of anyone who has experience tasking students with making an infographic as an assignment.
Ok, time to take the teaching cap off. Pedagogy aside, the main message today is quite simple: stay healthy this flu season, dear readers!
