Have you ever read a report and realized at the end that you didn’t quite understand the points it was trying to make? Maybe you read it through one more time, and still found it difficult. It may have been because the concept you were trying to understand needed to be presented in a different way. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Using visual aids can help your readers understand difficult information more easily. When you emphasize and illustrate your points with relevant figures and visual aids, you’re giving the reader additional context, different ways to digest complex information, and a more accessible route to comparing data.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Recognize the importance of visual elements in reports
• Select relevant visual aids
• Organize visual elements in reports effectively

Who should take this course?

Everyone who writes reports will benefit from this course. It’ll help you understand why reports need visual elements, how to research and select the most relevant ones, and how to put visual elements into your reports effectively.
