Abstract

Outstanding advances in educational technology are significantly influencing new learning environments, where it is necessary for teachers to respond and for learners to be able to adapt to the modern age of knowledge and information dissemination. The development of ICT has catalyzed the ability of all types of data to be reproduced visually (visualization). The term visualization refers to the use of various visual aids, which makes a subject more eloquent. This is especially useful for teaching a variety of special courses (environmental education), geography (maps, atlases), history (historical maps, atlases). Geography is a comprehensive and one of the most demanding subjects, as its study deals with a variety of different topics. This course can be made more effective and produce more permanent results through the use of innovative tools. One of these tools is information. In the context of the present study, the use of infographics, a pioneering visual tool transformed into a reliable teaching tool-guide in the classroom, is presented.
