This module is designed for individuals who are interested in knowledge mobilization, regardless of their prior experience with graphic design. By the end of the module, you will have the skills you need to create effective infographics that can help you to communicate your research to a wider audience.
Infographic design is a useful skill for knowledge mobilization because it allows complex information to be presented in a visually engaging and easily understandable format. This makes your message accessible to a variety of audiences (who may not be familiar with the subject matter) and can help you communicate your research and its implications to a variety of stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, and the general public.
Presenting information in a visually appealing format increases engagement and fosters deeper understanding of the knowledge that you are trying to communicate. Infographics are also highly shareable, making it easier to increase the reach and impact of your work.
In this module you will.
Learn about the role of infographics in research and evidence mobilization,
Become familiar with basic design principles and visual elements to create infographics,
Understand how to summarize research evidence for lay audiences, and
Create your own infographic
Research Impact Canada (RIC) is committed to helping universities and other organizations across Canada maximize the impact of research for communities.
From sharing best practices, co-developing resources, to delivering training in knowledge mobilization skills, we are an open and collaborative network of 20+ universities (and growing!) across Canada.
What We Do
We are a national leader in helping universities and other organizations create value and impact from knowledge. Through a focus on sharing best practices, co-developing resources, and delivering training in knowledge mobilization, we help build institutional capacity to turn knowledge into action. We work with both academic and non-academic stakeholders across a variety of organizations – including researchers, research administrative staff, academics, students, faculty, public sector leaders, and projects dedicated to skills development.
We help build institutional and organizational capacity through:
In 2003, York University’s David J. Phipps saw the opportunity for an institutional investment in maximizing research impact, agnostic of research discipline. While universities have been investing in commercialization and industry liaison these functions do not capture research that has the potential to make an impact on professional practice, social services and public policies.
After three years of partnership building and consultations, RIC was founded in 2006 by York University and the University of Victoria. Since then, we have found incredible value and have been successful in being able to share learnings and best practices across institutions, diverse disciplines, and work functions. Leveraging a national bilingual network, RIC has grown to 20+ universities across Canada, with a strong regional presence in nine provinces.
In 2019, RIC was invited to support knowledge mobilization efforts and capacity building for the Future Skills Centre, a pan-Canadian initiative dedicated to helping Canadians gain the skills they need to thrive in a changing labour market.
Recognizing that knowledge mobilisation is not unique to universities, In 2021, RIC began piloting membership to non-academic organizations with a research and knowledge mobilization mandate.

The information available to us today is overwhelming, and it can be a struggle to separate the signal from the noise.
Interested in moving beyond telling a story with words or charts to telling a story that will attract attention? Infographics engage viewers with meaningful graphics and easy?to?understand depiction of numbers. And they aren't as difficult to create as you might think.
