Sci-comms project manual for open access infographics with Prof Primate

So, your prof has decided on a science communication project that combines images and text in the form of an infographic. This manual is designed to help you get started on creating an Infographic for a class science communications project that will become an open access educational resource. The manual contains general sci-comms guidance, instructions for how to author and license your new open access work, as well as information about image rights and referencing, and a design guide. The design guide provides pointers to help you to combine text and images in ways that are interesting without being overwhelming for your audience. The manual was first created by Prof Primate for students of ‘An Ape’s Guide to Human Language,’ a second-year course in Psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. In our class, everyone is randomly allocated a primate as their target species for individualized project work. This means everyone in the class helps to build up our collective knowledge about primates, to be shared in a Festival at the end of semester. At the end of the manual are additional instructions for the Sci-Comms Project for An Ape’s Guide to Human Language in S2 of 2021, NTU Singapore. Prof Primate hopes this manual will be useful for students of all subjects, and may inspire more Profs to incorporate Open Access Comms projects (Sci-Comms, Ling-Comms etc) into their assessable work.
