InfoGraphics

One of the many projects I work on is managing the probation and suspension process in a business school. If a student does not earn a 2.0 overall GPA or 2.0 business GPA, I am the guy who sends out the notification letters, updates student transcripts, and creates programming to help students create an "academic recovery plan". Each semester I also create a report showing current numbers. This semester I tried Piktochart to spice up the data. Overall I really like the app because it works. Here is a sample: Leeds Spring 2014 Academic Standing Report. The template is just a minimalist, freebie with few customization options. Faculty out there might consider using InfoGraphics for any research they create because they are a great way to spice up data!

Piktochart has a publish and presentation feature, so you just create the graphic, publish it, copy or save the link, then click "presentation mode" in the right corner of the screen and BANG! Your data is live for your next presentation at your faculty or department meeting. You can also download the image and embed it in a blog or web post. Not as interactive, but still nice!
