Abstract

We outline the 10-step process that we used to codesign infographics to teach ophthalmic clinical skills. Infographics were designed to complement preexisting resources. Drawing on educational theories such as Dual Coding and Multimedia Learning, we demonstrate how infographics can enhance engagement, understanding, and recall. We adopted a copedagogical approach by involving medical students, clinical educators, and curriculum leads from the outset. Copedagogy supports collaboration and can improve the quality of education. Our approach incorporated medical student perspectives with focus groups and the audience participation application ‘Slido’; this enhanced the relevance of our infographics and helped foster deeper student engagement and learning. We highlight the importance of inclusivity by aligning our designs with Universal Design for Learning principles and best practices for accessibility. Although copedagogy may be time intensive, we found it highly rewarding, with benefits for all stakeholders. Through this How To paper, we hope to encourage others to create visually engaging, inclusive, and learner-centred resources that align with modern educational needs.
