Infographics as a Creative Assessment
I ran across this great page packed full of information on using infographics with students - and having them create their own to show their learning!

Infographics are a visual representation of data. When students create infographics, they are using information, visual, and technology literacies. This page includes links to help you develop formative or summative assessments that have students creating infographics to showcase their mastery of knowledge.
