Goals

Infographic goal: Create an infographic that will help future you decide when and in what context to use AI in your learning.

Learning Goal: Integrate across the course’s learning objectives (LOs) and your own understanding of your learning, such that you can explain which LOs are in the infographic and how they relate to your learning.

Requirements

Infographic Poster

The infographic is like a one-page poster that you would put on your wall, use as a laptop wallpaper, or keep in a folder. You will only be submitting it digitally. The requirements are:

At least one chart that is based on your learning log data.
At least 2 LOs that are not LO7, LO8, or LO9 are present in some way, shape, or form.
1. LO7 – LO9 (kinds of AI, intro to information visualization, and building charts) are already inherently present by the nature of the infographic.
Provides guidance on when and in what context to use AI.
Formatting:
1. 1 page, 1-sided.
2. Font is 11 pt or larger.
It is legible and clear.
1. This means no text that overlaps or tiny fonts. Design choices should support understanding. Make it easy for others to read as if it were on a table and the person was standing a step or two back.
2. It does not have to be artistic, aesthetically pleasing, or fancy. Clarity is key! Random decoration might actually make it harder to understand.

Write-up

In addition to the infographic, you will submit a write-up explaining it by answering the following questions. Each question only needs 2-5 sentences for its answer.

What is the primary message of your infographic?
Explain generally what each chart in your infographic is about. Why did you choose this/these chart(s)?
Which LOs are represented in your infographic? How are they each represented?
Why did you choose these LOs?
Provide 2 realistic future situations where your infographic would guide you to make different choices on how/whether you use AI.
AI Disclosure – This should cover both your poster and your write-up.

Rubric

Exemplary
1. Poster
  1. Has at least one chart using the student’s learning log data.

  4. Follows the required format.
  5. It is legible and clear.
2. Write-up – Answers for each question are clear, thorough, draw on course materials, and connect to what is present in the infographic.
3. Correctly uses relevant terminology.
Satisfactory
1. Poster
  1. Has at least one chart using the student’s learning log data.
  2. At least one chart supports the infographic, even if there are others that do not.
  3. Has 1 LO that is not LO7 – LO9.
  4. Follows the required format.
  5. It is mostly legible and clear, such as a bit of text is cramped or overlapping, but otherwise it can still be read.
2. Write-up – Answers for each question are reasonable, but:
  1. Lack some clarity or thoroughness.
  2. Are not always connected to what is present in the infographic.
3. Uses relevant terminology with some occasional omissions or imprecisions.
Not Yet
1. Poster
  1. It is missing a chart using the student’s learning log data.
  2. Has no LOs present that are not LO7 – LO9.
  3. Does not follow the required format.
  4. Part of the infographic cannot be read.
2. Write-up
  1. Answers are vague, incomplete, or incorrect, such that it is not clear how well the author understands the concepts from class.
  2. The answers are not connected to what is present in the infographic, such that they could be said about any infographic.
3. Key terminology is misused.

How to create it

What should it look like?

This is the most open-ended part of this assignment. It is entirely up to you! This is supposed to be a document that you would find compelling to pull up whenever you are wondering whether AI is right for the situation. No one can decide what that looks like except you.

When in doubt, opt for clarity, not fancy. Your design choices should focus on making it easy to understand.

Guiding Questions

Think of specific situations where you may or may not use AI and how you would use AI, such as a homework assignment, writing a paper, studying for an exam, answering a take-home quiz, what can you put in your infographic that will help you choose wisely in these situations?
When you are considering using AI, which of the LOs are most relevant? Perhaps motivation (LO6)? Or maybe you are struggling to recognize the purpose of a task, so articulating its learning objectives would help (LO2). On the other hand, perhaps you are struggling with executive function (LO3).
Given your learning log, what trends do you see? Could an LO explain the trend?
To figure out what chart to create, start with the chart’s message. For example, you can finish the sentence “I want my chart to show that…” to help you figure out what to create.
Given your learning log data and the chart you want to design, what LOs are present in the data you have?

Tool/Software

This is up to you. There are many options: PowerPoint, Word, Google Slides, Canva, Photoshop, etc. Choose one that you are most comfortable with. You just need to make sure to choose a tool that will let you export or print to pdf.

To create your chart, you learned how to make them using Excel, but you do not have to. You can use whatever you are comfortable with. You can even use AI to help you create it! Just make sure that the resulting graph represents your actual data.
