Infogr.am is the most intuitive infogrphic site I’ve seen, it is easy to select a template and then customize it with data, charts, graphs, maps, etc. Beyond June 2013, I’m not certain if the same features will be free (that’s when the Pro version rolls out) but it is phenomenal right now. Exports as a PNG or JPG when done. The ease of use is the best thing about it. Infographics can be created by students as a project. Instructors can have students research a topic, write a summary, create a bibliography, and then put together a graphic based upon their research. It results in an interesting, alternate presentation.
