Résumé:Infographics in social networks present more elaborate proposals than simple text. In this study we analyze the general patterns of Twitter infographic messages to determine its main characteristics. Subsequently, we conducted a test to compare learning differences when young people use infographics instead of text as a source of information. Our findings suggest that while infographics are more effective than text for digitally mediated learning in young people, an analysis of age and gender subgroups showed that this effectiveness was only statistically significant for older people.
