This infographic leads with a title in blue, larger than the rest of the text, "Agricultural Youth Opportunities". It is then followed by black text explaining what the infographic is about along with a link to the site. Their goal is to explain the different opportunities offered by their organization for different age groups. To show this, they have a black line, resembling a road, winding back and forth between the different groups: Student Membership ⇒ Ages 9+ Membership/Ages 9+ Program ⇒ Collegiate Membership/Collegiate Opportunities ⇒ Ages 14+ Membership/Ages 14+ Programs ⇒ Post-Collegiate Opportunities ⇒ Ages 18+ Membership ⇒ Alumni Membership ⇒ Ages 25+ Programs.

All of the "Ages ___" are on the left side whereas the more specific group labels are on the right (ex: Student, Collegiate, etc.).

In addition to the basic, colorful boxes connected by the winding, black road, there are small graphics of trees, cars, tractors, grain, farm, city-scape, etc. placed strategically on the page.

This infographic is a bit “busier” and “free-flowing”, using a lot of graphics and organizing things by color. It leads with “CONNECTED” in large black text, followed by a subheading of
“Equitable, Social and Participatory Learning” in purple and pink with a smaller, gray paragraph underneath explaining the purpose of the infographic. Then it starts to get a little busy.

In the center there is a blob of graphics, split into an even, three different colors: blue, dark green and light green. Blue is labeled “Interests” and has graphics of characters partaking in different activities like dancing, painting, skateboarding, etc. and also has a small box of gray text underneath. The format is the same for the light green “Peer Culture” section and the dark green “Academic” section. In addition to the characters, there are words written in white bubble letters. In the blue section there are the words: “cross-generational”, “expertise”, “diverse”, and “space”. Lastly, in the dark green area, there are the words: “knowledge”, “achieve”, and “recognition”.

There are also three more text boxes, surrounded by a pink border with lines drawn to the center of a the “blob”, placed between the other three text boxes. There’s “Production Centered” placed between “Interests” and “Peer Culture”, “Shared Purpose” placed between “Interests” and “Academic”, and “Openly Networked” placed between “Peer Culture” and “Academic”. At the very center of the “blob”, it seems that all of these different elements connect.

At the bottom of the infographic, there are several keywords listed in large gray text.

NAVAL HISTORY AND HERITAGE COMMAND

Chief Petty Officers: It’s in the Creed

• Deckplate Leaders: Chief petty officers make up the highest enlisted ranks in the U.S. Navy. Known as “Deckplate leaders” chiefs act as a bridge between officers and junior enlisted.
• April 1, 1893: Date proclaimed by Navy circular #1 (early navadmin message) that created the establishment of a chief petty officer rank.
• 55: Number of chief petty officers that have earner the medal of honor
• Deckplates to Keels: Chiefs are so vital to the Navy that two ships have been named USS CHIEF (both minesweepers).
• Oldest Ratings: Since 1797, only two ratings have continuously included chiefs among their ranks: Boatswain’s Mate and Gunner’s Mate.
• Goatlocker: From the age of sail to steam, goats were kept aboard ships in separate compartments known as “Goat Lockers.” Stubborn, sure-footed and tough, goats were used for their fresh milk and meat – they also helped lift up morale. Goat lockers were eventually adopted by chiefs who kept the name and adopted the goat moniker.
• First Female Chief: On March 21, 1917, Loretta Walsh became the first woman Navy chief petty officer when sworn in as a chief yeoman.
• Fouled Anchor: The chief petty officer cap device was authorized in 1897. CPO collar devices were introduced in 1959.
• Rocker Device: The advent of a rocker device was the first insignia for chiefs to wear, and was originally borrowed from the master-at-arms rating. It became official in 1894
• Creed: The original version of the CPO Creed was written in the late 1940s. Reading the creed became a fixture in the transition of a first class to the visible, confidently humble deckplate leaders chiefs strive to be.

This infographic is very colorful and uses a lot of visual graphics. There is a small graphic of a map with pins on it next to the title in the left corner: “Map Your Learning Journey”. Below that are five blocks of color with text: Red – “Look for resources that match your interests”, purple – “Explore paths from experts and guides”, blue – “Locate mentors and exports nearby”, green – “Maps hands-on experiences”, yellow – “learn faster”. Below that there is the name of the group that made the infographic, the website and the social-media name. To the right of all of that, in the background, there is a simple mountain. At the bottom left of the mountain there is a graphic of a hiker and a cat with the safari logo in the the black graphic. Then it follows gray, labeled arrows to the top of the mountain. On the top right of the infographic is the title “Personalized Paths & Goals” with the graphic of a cog next to it. Below that is a gray box with the text, “Find resources that match your learning profile” at the top. In the box there are 7 rows each with a different graphic: play button, clap board, figure holding a “?”, map pin, circle, cube, calendar. Each column is a different color (left to right): blue, teal, dark green, light green, yellow-green, orange, red, purple.

Below the gray box, there are 3 graphics: Magnified-glass, Books, and a Map with a pin. Each with a Label: Discover, Curate, Share. Next to that there is a collection of 22 hexagons representing “OpenBadges”.

Research Paper Writing

• Come Up With a Topic/Question: What do you want to answer with your paper? à
• Do Your Research: Learn research strategies from the UBC Learning Commons Library Research Toolkit à
• Develop a Thesis/Outline: Come up with a “working” thesis, an argument that might change but will help you to direct your paper à
• Write a Draft: Try to set a word count that you want to achieve each day and stick to it! à

This infographic is extremely simplistic. There is a black title in the top left: “Research Paper Writing” and below it are blue boxes with the different stops and a small description in white letters. These steps are connected with poorly drawn purple arrows. Additionally, next to each blue box is a very simple drawing of characters representing/doing each of the steps.

This infographic includes an original character/graphic (a puzzle-piece with a body and arms) and is split into six whit boxes, each with a header and one to two yellow/green boxes below the header. The exception to this is the first white box, which just includes the title: “What can I upload to Wikimedia Commons?” in large, blue text. The yellow boxes are outlined in red to represent the things that people can’t do, where the green boxes are outlined in green and show things that people can do. They also make use of a STOP sign graphic and a green OK ribbon graphic. In all of the green/yellow boxes, their original character is partaking in some of the activities they describe to further emphasize the information.
