Infogram

Principal function(s): Digital whiteboardsPoster/infographic creators

Infogram is a web-based tool for creating and sharing interactive infographics, charts, and maps. Users can create visually appealing infographics by selecting from a variety of templates, charts, and maps. They can then customize the content, colours, and styles to suit their needs. Infogram offers features for adding data, text, images, and icons to create engaging visual representations of information. Infogram offers both free and premium plans. Users are required to sign up for an account to use Infogram. Evaluation: Infogram is a valuable tool to create interactive content and make classes more engaging. It is also easy to use and provides professional-looking results. While it does not specifically target linguistic skills, it can be used to improve speaking skills by asking students to create visual content and deliver presentations. A slight drawback is that the free version allows only for 10 projects of no more than 5 pages each to be created. Average IT skills required.

Cost: Free with registration
