Resum

La infografia a les xarxes socials, presenta propostes més elaborades que el text simple. En aquest estudi analitzem els patrons generals dels missatges infogràfics que figuren a Twitter per determinar les seves característiques principals. Posteriorment, realitzem un test per comparar les diferències d'aprenentatge quan els joves utilitzen infografies en lloc del text com a font d'informació. Els resultats suggereixen que les infografies són més efectives que el text per a l'aprenentatge digital, però una anàlisi dels subgrups d’edat i gènere va mostrar que aquesta efectivitat només era estadísticament significativa per als homes grans.
