It has been a very busy week as it's nearly the end of semester and assessments are all coming together. This module really requires a lot of work (both individual and group) to be ahead of everything.
It's the Infographic presentation week! This is a new learning for us and it was not easy. However, I think everybody did they're best. Infographic is defined as a graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. As a group, there were a lot of confusion on how to do it and achieve the aim on showing our colleagues our production plan including the chosen cell lines, alternatives and bioreactor; in the simplest and easy way possible. However, by our combined ideas, we managed to create a better and informative infographic.
Each group presented their infographic outlining the product and the production chosen. Almost everybody used a template called the piktochart, whereas my group did it from the scratch and used MS Powerpoint to outline it. I was mainly involved in doing the draft of our infographic and we went through a lot of changes. Diagrams below outlines the evolution of our infographic.

My group did not prepare for a proper presentation for our inforgaphic like what others did. We did not have a guideline to read and so on which made me really nervous. I was thinking we probably did not do much and lacking a lot of things. On the other hand, we worked on it together and thus know every details, which made it easier for us to explain it to the class. The advantage of doing infographic in my opinion, is having to visualize each group's recent production and thus benefit by learning the different ways on how to bioprocess products. Each group used imaginative skills with the aid of good research skill to come up of the best way to produce a product with the least possible hurdle.
After presenting and getting feedback, my group figured out that we lacked some informations from the question asked, mainly the ancillaries. In additional, other groups presented their infographic from the product their producing, to the production and even included target market, the need of the product, who are they aiming for, whereas my group just focused on the actual bioprocessing/production. This is because we wanted to show the reason why such upstream processing was chosen; stating advantages and disadvantages including the alternatives.If given the chance to do it again, an actual flow of presentation will be prepared. Also, a detailed review of questions asked and presentation practice will be prepared well. On the other hand, my group sat down once again and revised the infographic showing all the answers to questions asked, giving clearer information for intended audience along with a good resource for further reading.
