They keep saying, you know, that one needs to walk the talk. But through this report, my chef for the first time is actually talking the walk. What you will see in this report is actually 100 plus brand-new content professionals across our offices who observe the space day in and day out, bringing their observations through the most relevant trends.


Welcome, everyone. We might just wait another 30, 40 seconds or so, give people a chance to get into the room before we get started here today. Really excited to be joining CTLT Winter Institute today to talk a little bit about research infographics and how we're using them in the classroom. My name is Nick. I use him pronouns. I'm the Community Engagement Librarian at the UBC Learning Exchange. I'm here presenting with a number of other folks who are involved in this work today, and they'll have a chance to introduce themselves when it comes time for their chance to speak. So in a session today, we're going to be providing some context for the creation of the Public Humanities Hub infographic toolkit, particularly giving some insight into the Making Research Accessible Art Studies 100 collaboration that produced a lot of the findings that were used in the toolkit, as well as the Public Humanities Hub perspective. We're going to do a walkthrough of the toolkit so you can see the different ways that you might be able to use it in your own work or practice. And we're really hoping that this session will demonstrate how research infographics can be used as a tool to engage with different users and help research reach a wider audience. A couple of small housekeeping things before we get started. As you'll see, the workshop is being recorded. If you don't want to be recorded, you are welcome to turn off your camera. We're also going to pause recording during the participatory sections. We also haven't made a final decision about whether or not it will be published on the CTLT channel, but we'll be considering that after the session. Close captioning is available. If you go to the little three dots on the bottom of your Zoom call and click on those, you should be able to pull that up in that menu there. Additionally, we'll be sharing links to the resources that we mentioned throughout the session. They'll also be available in a padlet that we'll be sharing a little bit later. Alright, so we're going to move on to the next slide. And I'd like to start the session with a territory acknowledgement that was created in collaboration with Muscoom Elder Doris Fox for use with the Downtown Eastside Research Access Portal. So it says that we acknowledge that the Making Research Accessible Initiative's work happens on the unceded traditional and continually occupied territory of the Muscoom, Skohomish, and Slaviti peoples. This portal is part of our ongoing commitment to changing the negative impacts of extractive ways of doing research and encouraging a more engaged and collaborative culture of knowledge exchange. And to take that a little bit further related to this particular project, we'd really like to invite reflection on the ways in which Indigenous cultures, technologies, and traditions continue to embody diverse approaches to knowledge exchange. Our project involves the use of multi-modal means of sharing research information through infographics to make that information more accessible and transmissible to non-academic audiences. But this is far from ubiquitous and Western scholarly communications in large part due to the insistence by colonial states on the exclusive legitimacy or positional superiority of text to serve that purpose. Yet visually encoding complex information is not new in Indigenous contexts and to deny this history and contemporary practice contributes to Indigenous erasure. So to that end, we wanted to share one example from the UBC Vancouver campus on stolen Muscoom territory where we can find several house posts described as monuments that can convey critical information about things like inherited rights and histories. The image that you're looking at right now is of the house post Siash K Kaikin or double-headed serpent post which was created by Brent Sparrow Jr. And this house post depicts the fascinating story behind Muscoom's traditional name. And you can find more about that story as well as the other Muscoom house posts on campus by following the link that we're going to share in the chat here. And to kind of bring this back to our project and the reflection we're inviting you folks to consider. Many Indigenous cultures not only recognize the value of oral, visual and other non-textual modes of knowledge exchange but have been and continue to be leaders and innovators in its practice. They like the way as we seek more promising and reciprocal pathways for university community knowledge exchange. So once again, we invite you to seek out and learn from other examples of multimedia Indigenous knowledge exchange that challenge the narrative of colonial erasure. And with that, I'm going to pass things over to Shannon to talk a little bit about the padlet. Great. Thank you, Nick. Thanks for getting us started. Like Nick said, my name is Shannon and I am the student success librarian at University Canada West. Previous to that, I did work as a student librarian with the Downtown East Side Research Access Portal. So that is how I got involved in the project and the toolkit and the case study we'll be talking about later today. First, I am going to just introduce you to the padlet that we've created for this session and just do a really brief kind of screen share walkthrough to show you what the padlet has and how you can use it. We will also add the link to the padlet in the chat as well. So as you can see here, we have a few different sections on this padlet. The first section has resources and links. So under this section, we have posted all of the different resources and kind of tools that we mentioned throughout our talk. So you could come here, click through these links to go visit those resources. Feel free to add to this section as well. If there is anything that you think would be valuable to share with the group, you can click the little plus button at the bottom and you can add links, images, text, etc. We also have a question section as well. So throughout the session, if there's any questions that come up, please feel free to once again click this little plus button and you can type in a question. Feel free to add your name or leave it or post it anonymously, and we will be getting back to these questions at the end of our session, but we want to have a place where you can add questions as we go. If anything comes to mind, you can do it here. This last section, we have kind of a brief or sorry, a little gallery of the different infographics that were created from the students in Ask 2100, which we'll talk about in just a bit. So I'm not going to share these at right in this moment, but at the end of the session, I will come back to the student created infographics and we'll do a little screen sharing, kind of show and tell to show you these infographics. And you can see what students have created for the research access portal. I'm just going to head back to the slides now. And I'm going to pass it over to Evan to get us started with this activity. Thanks Shannon. Hi everybody, my name is Evan Morrill. I teach in the coordinator program. It's a first year gateway program in the Faculty of Arts. I teach there with Kirby Mania, my colleague who will also be presenting today and we both teach a course called Art Studies 100. It's kind of an intro to academic writing and research and it's the place where the case study that we're going to go through today happened. I want to say that, you know, a little bit later we'll kind of go into specifics of the case study in a fair bit of depth. And, as Shannon mentioned, we'll go through tools and resources that have been developed through the project and through this really amazing partnership with the Making Research Accessible initiative. I wanted to sort of back up, give a bit of rationale and talk about one reason that we started teaching with infographics is that, you know, we were presumably like some other people who are attending here looking to shake up the usual sort of set of assignments that we we give particularly a summary assignment, a research summary assignment. We found definitely that students like working with with infographics, but they often tell us that this infographic making project surprises them with, you know, it looks simple but it's actually really hard to do. So to give you a sense of how hard it can be I'm going to ask you to dive in with a little activity that we use as a kind of a pre infographic stage that we offer students to get them to kind of start to think visually. I invite you to try the activity if you wish participation here is definitely highly encouraged. You can do it with a pen and or a pencil and paper if you have that at your desk if you prefer you can go back to that padlet that Shannon just showed you and there's a little column there for draw the argument there are a set of drawing tools in padlet you can do it digitally there too if you want. So this activity is preparatory to making an infographic for students is kind of pre infographic step. It helps us think about things like layout design visual spacing and graphics. And it involves a two step process. So first, we asked students to take a summary of a research article and we asked them to visualize that argument that's the first step. If you're taking part in this at home. We suggest that you follow the slides first direction there which is to summon your own piece of argumentative writing it can be something that you've read or written recently and can remember easily. You know it could be an academic article it could be an online essay a think piece, maybe a tweet thread if you're still on Twitter. Click around maybe your open tabs and your browser and see if there's anything you can work with there. Once you've chosen and I'm going to work you through on a fairly sped up timeline here once you've chosen we try some sketch noting, which is a practice that we derive from a couple of different sources the visual artist Linda berries amazing graphic nonfiction books syllabus, which is sort of a series of drawing strategies she uses in university classrooms. And then the book that cited on the slide here called drawn together through visual practice which is a really great introduction to to this form of visual note taking. So, as you can see from the slide sketch noting combines aspects of drawing doodling and note taking and offers a new way to summarize the flow and the structure of an argument. You can start anytime that you wish if you have chosen an argument that you can work with definitely start drawing and start sketching it and I'll just sort of talk my way through it. And as you're getting started, you'll want to think about the sort of two diagrams on the slide there are five common elements in a sketch note. So text words written down right lines containers images and also layout. And that's basically like your toolbox that's those are the set of tools you can use to make a sort of a sketch note come alive use any or all of them. So text also offers for basic poster layout types that you might try and that's those four boxes towards the bottom right so radial path top to bottom center out in division. These are only suggestions of course please feel free to experiment with with other ways to visualize the argument. Beginning to draw your argument you have to, you'll find that you probably have to make some important decisions like where does the main claim of the argument go that sort of thesis statement or the main argument. Where does your supporting evidence go what combination of text and image can you use, and then how can the layout on the page help you get across the structure of an argument. So I'll ask you to be sketching and while you're sketching I'll just talk through kind of the point of this exercise for our students in sketching, you know our students have to make decisions about what to foreground what to center. And then what the background or even exclude. These are visual renderings of a very important critical reading skill on which their summary writing is based and on which around which we teach the first few months have asked to 100. The activity also asked them to think about what to represent visually and what has to be written out in text and what combination of text and image best gets the point across. And then they'll also be having to think a little bit about how their readers I will move across or along the page which we find really, really helpful later on when they're making their infographics to. So with all of that said, I'm going to hurry us up here a little bit I normally give the students a little bit more time but I'm going to ask us to in a moment on three. If you did a drawing on a piece of paper to hold it up to your webcam. I didn't give you enough time to do this so if it's a little messy that's fine and drawing talent of course in my classes and definitely here doesn't matter I'm mostly a stick figure person when I can draw at all. I'll ask you please to hold up your hold up your work to your camera if you if you did it sorry I'm realizing that my, my background fuzzing is not quite helping here, but we've got a couple of these drawings up here I had a bit of a head start argument that I did this before the session but I gave myself only about a minute. Let me just quickly conclude here by saying that if you want to continue doodling. While we talk you're highly encouraged to and if you want to do that on the padlet app you certainly can. We'd love to see some drawings of arguments but hopefully this gives you a sense of the challenges of trying to visualize a textual argument. I think I'll pass it back I think it's next. Thanks Evan. So I'm just going to provide a little bit of context for this case study that we're going to be drawing from today. So, my work here at the learning exchange has a lot to do with making research accessible initiative, which is a partnership between the learning exchange UBC library. SFU library. Vancouver public library a number of other different units at UBC to investigate and respond to community priority identified by downtown east side residents who are frustrated with the extractive research practices that take place in their community. And so one of the one of the key deliverables of this work so far is creation of the downtown east side research access portal. Which is an online resource that includes over 1700 items of academic research community creative materials, as well as more accessible knowledge exchange products like the infographics that we have been working on with the as to 100 students. And that really kind of gets to one of the, I think key lessons that we've learned from the making research accessible initiative which is that open access isn't enough. Being able to download and and potentially, you know, view an academic article isn't the same as it being accessible to people who don't have the time or the disciplinary expertise to sort through all the jargon and other components of a research article. A lot of people who are advocates or working in the community are looking for key takeaways and quick summaries that help give them a sense if there's more to be found. That is relevant to their work that they're doing in the community, which is really towards making change and research has an important role to play in that process but it can't fulfill that role when folks in the community aren't able to access it. So this particular project is a collaboration with Kirby and Evan two instructors in the coordinated arts program. Working with students working with researchers working with community members to create so far 17 infographics that have been published as part of the down to any side research access portal. So I'm going to head it back over to Evan and Kirby to talk about the process for making the infographics. Thank you, Nick. Sorry, let me just get sorted here. So, me again, and Kirby in a moment, we're going to describe the case study for using infographics in the classroom. Again, just to underline it's in an introductory academic writing and research class called as to 100 or art studies 100. And, as Nick said, it's about having students create publicly accessible infographics summaries of research articles relevant to the downtown East side. From our perspective, teaching this intro research and writing course the infographic project gives us a pretty good way to do community engagement and to offer some reciprocal benefit to research partners or community partners rather in a kind of an over researched and under resource neighborhood. So it provides us or provides some community benefit without burdening the community with a kind of a time and labor intensive collaboration that's part of the reason that we like it. But students also benefit from it in a couple of ways. They contribute meaningfully to this knowledge exchange project. They learn the contours of community based scholarship. They learn to center ethical research and community relationships in their understanding of how knowledge gets made. And on top of that, like, we went into it thinking students aren't just going to benefit from this. They also bring really important skills to the project and designing the project we kind of hypothesize that as non specialists in research disciplines who have some research writing skills first year students might actually be particularly well positioned to do this kind of knowledge translation so that their infographics might really hit a sweet spot. But with that, I'll pass it on to Kirby, who's going to describe the process in the table on the slide. Thanks so much, Evan. So Evan has partially introduced me already but my name is Kirby Mania. I currently teach in the School of Journalism, Writing and Media and taught as to 100 with Evan in the coordinated arts program for four years. So you'll see there on the slide we have a summary of our project overview, and so I'm going to be walking us through that. So students work in small groups to produce infographics. And we start from a handful of articles written by researchers who've agreed to participate in the project at stage one. And we then in stage two offer students an orientation to the UBC learning exchange and the making research accessible initiative project. In recent years, this orientation has been supplied through a video by Nick and Angela toll through both the plan is to return on site and to do it in person this year. We then match students to research articles based on students interests. In stage three, we then ask students to summarize the assigned scholarly article, drawing on summary and citation skills learned in our course. However, where our students previous summaries were written for academic audiences. This time we asked they use plain language principles to make the summary more accessible to more people. And our team has debated the term plain language at length. And we're happy to discuss our use of it further if anybody has questions later on. But key aspects of the plain language approach include short sentences in the active voice, avoiding technical or scholarly jargon and identifying the intended audience and a lot aligning ones writing with their reading needs. Excellent summaries are then sent on to the articles corresponding authors for approval and feedback. And so we believe that author participation at the stage is really crucial. And in fact we seek author feedback twice at the summary step. And again later when the students have started devising their infographics. And it's quite rare for first year students to have an external set of eyes evaluating their work, let alone a field specialist and let alone the corresponding author themselves. You can detect minor points of inflection and misunderstanding in the conveyance of the gist of their arguments. So, having said that research participation can also result in some complications and negotiation around the summary, as in any editorial process. So authors occasionally want specific wordings maintained and students are trying to grapple their best with working with plain language principles, but they also don't have direct acquaintance with the communities represented in their research. So there's a little bit of back and forth as we zero in on accessible research summary language. The final step for our students in stage three is to design the infographics and we've included photos on this slide from one of our infographic instruction workshops that Shannon and Nick facilitated for our students. In these workshops teams peer reviewed and edited their infographics in advance of submitting them. And then upon submission, the excellent ones were passed on to the corresponding authors for consent and further revision before publication on the wrap the research access portal. At this point authors might further revise the language and might have suggestions for visuals and visualization strategies that we take to take back to our students. And the results of the infographic we hope does credit to the authors work, while also creates a space for student ingenuity and talent. And there after stage five speaks to the process is involved in licensing the infographics uploading them to the wrap. And then in stage six, our team gets together we debrief the deer's activities and reflect on where our project can could be improved for the area ahead. All right back to you Nick. Thanks Kirby. So just very briefly I wanted to share some of the sort of preliminary results of this work, particularly as relevant to community members in the downtown East Side. So, as I mentioned before, we've had 17 infographics that were ultimately published on the research access portal. And those infographics have been downloaded over 1000 times by our users. Shannon also led a series of focus groups in the community that confirmed the value of these infographics, as well as sharpened our toolkits, which you're going to have a chance to see later. They've also been extremely popular at our outreach events in the community like pop up libraries they really get people's attention and kind of draw them into the content of the research. And we're also using them to help facilitate a new knowledge cafe program at the learning exchange which brings together folks in the community to have conversations about the research is taking place in their backyard. And with that I'm going to hand it back over to Kirby to talk about what we've learned as a result of this collaboration. Thanks Nick. So in the three years we've offered this assignment to our students, we have learned the following things. First, we think that our hypothesis that was put forward by Evan earlier in our presentation that first year students whom we like to position and treat as apprentice researchers. So our hypothesis is that we think they're well positioned to do knowledge translation, and we think this has been confirmed by their work in their infographics. We think our project offers some insight into the complex questions around what kinds of literacies are required to do knowledge translation effectively. As knowledge as first year students are just beginning to learn research conventions, they have a fresh memory of entering the post secondary environment and encountering the opacity of research writing and discipline specific jargon. So really in this way they're ideally positioned to work as knowledge intermediaries, able to track a scholarly argument but also able to recognize how discourse used in the academy can often be inaccessible to those outside of it. Then there are some aspects of digital facility that may come into play here too as students really surprise us with their graphical talents and their intuition with digital content. In their teams, students who are sometimes rather quiet in academic conversations can find themselves leading a group's efforts as different stages of the assignment call forth different skills and abilities. Another key thing we've learned about this project and its benefits to student learning is that this assignment offers the motivation of a real publication opportunity to students whose names get to appear on a library search, which is a rare opportunity in the role. And also students are not just having their work evaluated by an instructor but are working with the instructor and the article's corresponding author, getting authentic editing feedback from several sides and undergoing a real editorial process. They do this collaboratively and are motivated to work together on a task with intrinsic appeal as a research advocacy project that involves both knowledge translation as well as knowledge mobilization, which is very important for us in this project with low demand on an already over researched community. All right, and I'm handing it over to to Heidi and Sydney. Thanks Kirby. Hi I'm Heidi Leonard, I am a graduate academic assistant at the public humanities hub, and I had the opportunity to help produce the input graphics toolkit in partnership and consultation with the expertise of our co presenters today. So I'll just briefly introduce the hub and what we do there and why we find these tool kits important. The hub began as a three year pilot in 2019 to foster support and highlight collaborative research among humanity scholars at UBC. And part of our mandate is to support scholars who are applying either public scholarship or community engaged methods in their research and in the classrooms. And we launched a toolkit series to introduce researchers to a particular public scholarship method and then to point them to existing resources on campus at UBC because we find that there's a lot of people doing this work that they just don't really know what's available to them on campus. Each of our tool kits focus on a specific theme or method and then includes actual examples from classrooms or existing projects. We have exactly syllabi assignments, other kinds of things. So for instance, today we've created tool kits on using Wikipedia, writing op eds curating exhibits on podcasting, and we all try to integrate in all of them at some kind of teaching component. And if you check out our site you can see the full list of tool kits. So building the tool, the infographics toolkit has been our most collaborative process to date. Normally, we brainstorm tool kits by identifying and then inviting scholars to a panel, and then we build the toolkit from it. But in this instance, we're approached and asked to develop a toolkit based out of the existing projects that you've that we've just heard about today. And we were really excited to respond to this request and my colleague Sydney will discuss a little bit more of that collaborative context. So my name is Sydney lines I use she her pronouns. I'm also a graduate academic assistant at the public humanities hub and I co manager public scholarship series which these, these tool kits are a part of. So the infographics toolkit actually started as a conversation in July 2021 between hub director Mary Chapman and Heather O'Brien who's a professor in the ice school. And Heather was leading a shirk partnership grant called story or supporting transparent and open research engagement and exchange. There's a link for more info on story in the padlet. And so inspired by Kirby and Evans art studies 100 class that we just heard about and their work in the downtown East side as well as a few other infographics projects at UBC. We felt like there is ample opportunity and a need to organize and coordinate a toolkit to help UBC scholars who are also considering using infographics and their work or in the classroom to locate resources. So through story, Heather O'Brien ended up hiring Shannon Murray as a graduate academic assistant in part to help develop toolkit with Nick at the UBC learning exchange and the making research accessible initiative. The toolkit became a vehicle through which to capture and build upon the momentum and enthusiasm that was percolating in these various units on campus. So from our perspective at the public humanities hub, the infographics toolkit offered both an opportunity to build an interdisciplinary resource with multiple on campus collaborators. And to offer another tool for communicating research since infographics are just one of the many different genres that allow scholars to communicate the research and to bring knowledge exchange practices into their courses and into their classrooms. And I will hand it back to Heidi now. Earlier this spring, the public humanities have hosted a panel which included our presenters here and more about sort of the projects and how to get into doing infographics. And then from that panel week, we took that information to build into a toolkit. You'll get to actually see a recording of that panel in our toolkit as well. Shannon wrote most of the toolkit and then sitting I turned it into its final form based on our templates and we're now hosting it on our website. And we're, yeah, we're very pleased and excited with how it came together and we really do hope it'll be useful for people who would like to use it in classrooms. And with that I'll pass it on to Shannon to give you all a walk through. Great, thank you. So now we've heard from Sydney and Heidi about the creation of the toolkit and the various collaborators and units involved in its creation. But I'm going to talk about the toolkit itself and the content that is featured within it. So the toolkit is really multifaceted as it delves into the different ways infographics can be used as a tool in knowledge mobilization, but it also provides recommendations for the creation of infographics. These recommendations are focused on the design, the different visual elements, as well as language and text. I am going to share my screen and walk through the toolkit itself just so you can get a better idea of these different elements and how you hopefully might be able to utilize it in your own practice. So let me open this up. Okay, so the toolkit starts out with a brief introduction, asking the question why infographics and this acts as kind of the basis for the following content that is contained within this toolkit. We wanted to make it clear from the very start that infographics really have multiple uses and that the toolkit hopes to connect these dots so we used input and expertise from a number of scholars and experts to really ground the toolkit. As was mentioned just before, there was a panel that took place that was hosted by the public humanities hub. And these scholars were featured on this panel. So in this panel, the scholars discussed infographic use and creation. Evan and Kirby who are here today talked about infographics and community use community engaged learning. And we had Lupin Battersby and Valerie Hurska who delved into research dissemination. And you can watch that entire panel through the toolkit linked on the padlet as well. Next we have our infographics as advocacy section. Here you can learn about the ways in which infographics can be a tool for change. And as we say here, it could be to inform policy or further social or political causes. Classroom examples are also integrated in the section of the toolkit and there's kind of some tips on how you can join advocacy and infographics within a classroom setting. And as you can see here, I think one of the unique things with the toolkit is the integration of our is the quotes that came from that panel, which again just helps to ground the toolkit and connect back to that panel that we had earlier in the year. And as going back up, we have our infographics as pedagogy section. So you've already heard from Evan and Kirby about the ask you case study, but if you did want to learn more about using infographics as a pedagogical tool, you can visit this section here. You can find additional examples of infographics being used in a classroom. You can also find information about how you may be able to integrate infographics into different assignments if you are an instructor and want to bring them into your own classroom. There is additional information about the case study here. Again, you can hear from Evan and Kirby. Notably at the very bottom, we have some further reading and resources that includes a list of different courses by UBC scholars that are actively integrating these infographics into their own assignments and courses. We have some guides and articles as well for you to reference. Next, we have our infographics as research section. We dive into infographics as a genre that can support the dissemination of research in a really clear and accessible way using attractive visuals and plain language. We make the case for accessible research dissemination. And here we really highlight the communication element of the research process itself and how sharing one scholarship to a wider audience should not be really should not be overlooked and just highlighting again that it's really vital part of the research process itself. As we continue on through this section, there is some additional information about the efficacy of infographics in regards to cognition and comprehension and just why they work so well. And then we end with a little blurb about data visualization. And this toolkit was created with more of a qualitative research focus so it was important to consider what data visualization means when interpreting and sharing the sort of qualitative research. And then lastly here we have the infographic creation section. So this section ideally can be used as a guide when creating your own infographic. And it also includes recommendations for infographic creation that were developed through a literature review and the focus groups that Nick mentioned earlier on today. I'm going to briefly walk you through this section and each of the recommendations that is put forward in the toolkit. So there are first a few questions that you should ask yourself before creating an infographic. These questions include who is the intended audience, what narrative approach is most fitting, and also what information do you want to center within the infographic. So these questions can help you as you begin the creation process and they can guide you throughout the remaining design and creation process. Next we move into the design principles and design recommendations. So of course unsurprisingly the design of an infographic really plays a major role in its effectiveness through our focus groups we found that badly designed infographics can deter readers and cause a lot of confusion. Therefore you need to consider the layout you use the color scheme as well as the typeface and the three design recommendations that we put forward in the toolkit are to use a simple clear layout with defined sections. And while this might seem a bit obvious, the layout of an infographic can really play a major role in its success. Barlow et al state that the structure of an infographic should be logical and clear, as this will reduce or minimize confusion and reduce misunderstandings. A tip that can help with this is to create a layout that will support a natural left right up down reading structure. And we also suggest using headers to differentiate between sections, as this can make an infographic a lot easier to read and limit the amount of effort that the reader has to put in because everything is clearly labeled for them. We also suggest using a color palette that features three to four colors and to be consistent in its use. While playing with color you know it can be fun, exciting it can be less than effective when attempting to disseminate this sort of research. By choosing a limited color palette and really sticking to it, you once again reduce distractions. Here we have a color checklist included in the toolkit, and it provides some additional elements to consider when choosing your color palette. And we suggest being aware of the color combinations you use as well for accessibility purposes. I scroll down here. We also suggest using a sans serif font and to size text appropriately according to its function. So sans serif fonts can be easier to read in smaller sizes. And with infographics created to disseminate the sort of qualitative research that we base this toolkit on, they can feature more text naturally. So choosing a sans serif font may provide readers with some ease when reading through the infographic. Even further it's helpful to size text according to its function. By using font size strategically, so example you know the title of course being the largest and then the header and then the body text being the smallest. It will simplify the reading process and again limit the amount of work that the reader has to put in to understand the layout and the order in which they should read the information presented to them. Next we have some recommendations for visual elements. We differentiate between the two types of visual elements that one might use within an infographic and we recommend to use visuals that are relevant and appropriately placed. As mentioned earlier, these recommendations were created after these focus groups were held and participants noted that visuals that were irrelevant to the text were really confusing and felt unnecessary. And the participants preferred the use of visuals that corresponded with the written information found near or beside it. Even further the overuse of visual elements really crowds an infographic so you need to incorporate white space and be conscious of the amount of visuals used and again how you use them. Lastly, we have three language and text recommendations included in the toolkit. First we recommend limiting specialized language and jargon to reach a wider audience beyond one's area of expertise it's really vital that you consider the language that is being used. We suggest limiting specialized language and jargon when possible, or if it's not possible providing definitions if that if no plain language alternative is really possible. Again, this is especially important to consider when thinking about the sort of qualitative research as there's more reliance on the text to convey information rather than charts and graphs and data bits. Next we suggest aiming for between 200 and 250 words in your infographic. Less tends to be more in some cases so try and limit these words that you use. Focus group participants found that the graphics with less than 150 words really left them wanting more information and feeling like they didn't get the whole kind of story or the whole understanding the whole research article that this infographic was based on. But those infographics that had over 300 words were thought to be dense and kind of hard to navigate again just a lot of text and too little white space. So, there was kind of a middle ground that was found with this 200 and 250 words that seem to be a sweet spot that allowed for the information to be conveyed but not to be overwhelming or hard to navigate. Lastly, we also suggest integrating quotations if possible. Quotations are really great alternative for this kind of qualitative research and qualitative research based infographics. Again, you might not have charts or graphs to include. So a quote could be a focal point of the graphic and could work to draw readers in to pursuing the rest of the infographic and maybe the research article itself if they choose to do so. So that is the those are the recommendations that are put forward in this toolkit here and of course to learn more about each you can come and walk through the toolkit on your own time. To wrap up this toolkit walkthrough though I'll just briefly show you the resources page we have here. We have suggestions for software that you could use to create your own infographic or you could integrate it into the classroom and have your students use these different types of software. For ask you 100 canva was kind of the go to and it seems to work quite well for all of the groups. We also have some additional planning resources. If you wanted to read more once again if you wanted to plan a infographic assignment for your own class or you wanted to evaluate infographics in a classroom. And then lastly there are some additional talks and presentations that we've included with a focus on you know infographics for knowledge mobilization and within the classroom. So I'm going to exit the toolkit and head back to the slides here. Okay. So to end the session we wanted to highlight some of the infographics that were created by the students throughout this continued MRA I asked you collaboration. And over the past few terms few years asked you students have worked as teams to create really effective infographics that now reside alongside the full research article in which they are based. So on the left side of the screen, you can see the rap item record for one of these student created infographics. There is a brief description about the project and the creation of the graphic, some descriptive metadata, and then a link to the original research article which at the very bottom but related materials. If you were looking at this item record on the rap, you could go click this and be brought to the full research article. On the right side of the screen we have the infographic itself which is hosted on circle which is UBC's open access institutional repository. We are going to add the link to the entire collection of student created infographics in the chat. So you're free to browse them. And I'm just going to quickly walk through a couple examples now just so I can show them on the screen and you can get an idea of what students actually created throughout this entire project. And see what they have been working on. So just give me one second again to get back to the padlet. Okay, so again you can come and look at the padlet on your own time and it might be a little bit easier for you to look at the infographics on your own screen. But we chose a few infographics here that we thought were nice representation of what students have done so far in this project. So here is one that was recently created in this past term so from the recent batch of infographics. I'm just going to zoom out so maybe you can get a full idea of what they look like. When you look through these infographics you might be able to see some different elements from the toolkit those recommendations put forward like for example this infographic has some really clear sections. They have a quotation integrated to kind of act as that full the focal point, and they did a good job of kind of limiting the visuals to, you know, ensure that there's that white space included within their infographic. This next one here came, I believe from the first round of infographics created. Again, really clear sections, the limited use of visuals that correspond with the text featured beside it, and that kind of consistently used and simple color palette as well. And then I'll show you one more here. This was a really unique one that we saw from this most recent group of students which we were all I think really impressed by just the creativity like Evan and Kirby said some students really came in to make the project their own. And I think this is one example of a really successful student created infographic. But still you can see some of those recommendations, even though they've taken it in their own direction with these kind of visual elements, they are clear with their sections included. They integrate a quotation here and have everything really well laid out. So I'll just leave it with those ones for now. But again, I really recommend you, you know, take some time if you have it to look through the full collection on the research access portal, as there are so many fantastic student created infographics that we would love to share with you all. I'm just going to go back to the slides now. Okay, so that brings us to the end of the kind of content portion of the session, and we can move into questions now if there are any, and I will just stop sharing my screen as well so I can see everyone finally. Okay, so at any point if there's anybody who wants to raise their hand and ask you can do that as well otherwise we'll be using the padlet and there is one question here that is going to be for Kirby and Evan it's about assessment. And it says I hate to ask but I have to how do you grade the projects the teamwork the full write up the infographic alone. Yeah, it's a great question Kirby will probably answer this better than I will. But it goes through successive stages like I would just point back to what Kirby said about the different steps that students take we grade them based on the summary that they write first. And then on the infographic itself to and they're you know we're using the recommendations that Shannon focus groups gave us to both teach how to do an infographic and also how we're evaluating the success of their infographics. And shoot I don't know I mean like definitely we're evaluating group work. This is a group project and so students participation in the group work is a big part of it as well Kirby is there's more to this I'm sure that I'm forgetting half of it. I think you did a good job covering it Evan I mean we we've obviously break project up into various steps and so we first get the students to read and translate the assigned article as individuals. And then they get together in their groups and they collaborate with their individual summaries to produce a consolidated group version of it. We actually grade the individual summary for participation purposes the group summary we look at in terms of our rubric is informed as Evan said by what's come through in our community focus groups, as well as principles that relate to the teaching of summaries in our academic writing courses so we're ensuring that students are conveying the gist of the article that there is adequate representation of its key findings that they're that the summaries themselves are clear so we've got quite well established rubrics that the students can follow and determine where they need to work on and then we also grade the infographics themselves similarly with the with the principles, guiding our rubrics in terms of what the community focus groups have pointed out are important elements of what they need from these targeted genres. And then we also in both of our courses have students reflect on their engagement with this advocacy project. And so they think carefully through what they themselves have able to contribute what they've learned from it and what they've thought about the process of engaging in group work. So it's a process that we evaluated each stage. Yes, thanks. I totally forgot about the reflective piece that's a major part of it. The other thing that I'll quickly say is that it has happened like we do send some forward to the researchers to be vetted for publication. And it's not always the case that like the top marketers are the ones that we send forward that that second part of it is a decision made by committee. Shannon and Nick are involved in it. And we all just sort of look at what we have and sort of decide which ones we think are best to send forward to the article authors. It's sort of, I guess, semi autonomous from the grading procedure because sometimes my my grading is I guess wrong. So we send forward a different a different infographic than I thought was the best one, which is. Yeah, I mean, even we had a situation where was most recent here as a result of our committee we like the visuals produced by one group and like the content produced by another group and we actually got the two groups to work together and produce a combined sort of augmented which I think spoke to each of their individual groups of strengths. Okay, I don't see any hands so I'll keep moving down the padlet there's actually somebody who I guess maybe this would be for Nick who's interested in seeing if there's a way to look at an overview of the results from the focus groups. Yeah, so we've only done to focus groups as part of this initial work and are hoping to do more in the future. So I'm hoping to improve sort of the rigor of the results but you can find those initial results. And what's basically almost like a prototype for the public humanities have toolkit that Shannon created focus specifically on this project. So you can follow the link there and take a look at those results I don't know if there's anything more you wanted to share about that Shannon. I'm glad that there are a few additional files there so there's my main kind of research project and this was created as a professional experience project I did when I was at the high school at UBC. So that contains the focus group information like the methodology and the results but there's also a creation guide included and a checklist that I created for Evan and Kirby's class. And then we were actually able to use the checklist in those workshops that Nick and I facilitated. And they were just a good way to kind of give students a guide to follow and work through a checklist and I think it was useful for them it seemed like it was they were able to engage with one another using this checklist and engage with the different infographics being created. So those are also included in that link that Nick just sent along with of course that focus group information as well. And then we can definitely add that link to the Padlet as well under resources. It should actually sort of just add on just under research project which is very vague, but it is linked there. Okay, there's one final question here that is again for Evan and Kirby it's about contacting authors. So have you had any authors you contacted hoping to use their articles for this project who are reluctant to participate. If so what concerns have they articulated and how did you address them. I actually want to pitch this one to Nick because he handles most of the. Okay. Yeah, I mean I don't. I feel like generally people are pretty enthusiastic authors. Sometimes they're slow to respond. They're busy with teaching and research and all these other responsibilities they have. We may have had a couple of cases where we haven't received a response. In a couple of other cases, researchers have pointed us to, you know, some other sort of accessible derivative based on that article that they had already kind of worked on or someone else had worked on. But what I think is really interesting about that is that that wasn't clear to us that that existed or where we could find it. And so that was something else we could then add a link to in the research access portal and I think highlights the need for having a collection like that that actually brings all these things together. Because aside from the academic articles when these sorts of materials are created they're very frequently hard to find or not connected to the original research so their their impact might be a little bit limited if they're not shared in the places where people are going to be looking for them. So that's also been an interesting learning but I think generally researchers are pretty enthusiastic. Worst case scenario they refer us to a different author, I think, because they don't have the capacity to take it on but usually they're pretty excited for the opportunity to work on this project and go forward. So I think capacity is probably the biggest hurdle for them. Okay, well we don't have any more.  Just quickly add one note to that Nick has mentioned is the person who does the author reach or outreach and so knows this stuff. But we do in the initial contact with them try to outline that it's a little bit of work for them right like that's maybe part of the reason that we get a few people saying, saying no and it's like Nick said fairly rare. People are really enthusiastic about the project and about getting basically like free knowledge translation of their articles done. But it does involve a bit of work and we try to outline what that is as Kirby mentioned they're giving feedback to students at various stages right and we're fairly clear about how much work it is but again it's sort of a capacity issue for for some folks for sure. Okay, I don't see any more questions I do have a question for all of you though which is mostly about being able to look back now is there anything you would do differently in the beginning if you were doing this again in your classroom.  I could say that I would, if I were to do it all over again. Two things one, I would look at more infographics first, just because I thought I knew the genre but probably didn't know it well enough. And I probably should have spent more time with the tools that we give students like we asked them to go to Canva or Pecto chart, or some other sort of template based infographic makers and I didn't really have an idea of exactly how all of that. I had an idea of how it worked but I didn't really get into the nuts and bolts of that. And shoot I can't remember what the rest of it was if anybody else wants to jump in here on what what you would do differently if you were starting over. I mean, I think this process is something that's iterative and collaborative and we learn and implement new things each year and one of the, I think the strength, the most recent iteration is having Nick and Shannon support us. And especially in terms of the focus groups, generating the toolkit resource the report. I think that that was something that has really emboldened and supported our project. And I think that if we had only known now how that how these resources could be helpful. I think the project would have been stronger from its inception. Okay, well we have less than two minutes left so I don't see any more questions but there is a do you have to give a plug for the survey. That they would like us to share so please fill out the Qualtrics survey here it is now in the chat. Thank you all for joining us today I'm so glad that you can make it it's always feels great to talk with these books again about the toolkit it was incredible to make. So thank you all for joining us and have a good weekend. Thanks everyone.


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. I'm going to just make this really, really quick. This is the Tiger Financial News Network's 10 a.m. show, which is the opening call that is my daily newsletter. And here we've got the Tiger Technician Hour, and let me just go through this very quickly. You see this orange line here, the sine wave move up and down and up and down. This is the dowel. It broke the Chapman wave inside track repellent zone, went above the orange 200-period moving average. The magnies improved, the 90s over the 14, the stochastic is nicely up at 89%. On balance volume is the only lagging indicator here. But most importantly, it was a Chapman wave, a low Tring gauge reading yesterday, I used Richard Holmes' index just for numbers, and that's all. And that said that no matter where the futures were overnight or going into this morning and the dowel, there should be some kind of a pullback to negative before there's a rally. And now what we're looking at is the dowel went all the way from 34,545 down to 34,355, just by three points going negative. I actually, I'm going to call that a win for that indicator because it's got a fantastic record having to think that after being up so high that the market would actually pull back to just about unchanged, that's impressive. Now it says to me that in the Chapman wave methodology, the buy signal should be upgraded to a buy mode, should go to at least a leg D. That means it has to go above, all right here, has to go above the high of three days ago of 34,882.03, it goes to 04, and that starts a new leg D. Can it do that under these conditions? Well, it's going to be a very important buy today, Thursday, by Monday that we've seen trading up near the 35,000, I think 34,900 to 35,050, that area is going to show a lot of resistance. So I wanted to go through that and say, with a week to go, so much can happen in the last couple of days of any month in the candle. We've just seen that, I remember going back decades, how many times, quite often in June, June would be acting terribly, oh, just horrible. And then all of a sudden, the last couple of days, whoosh, this is a massive move to the upside, saves the candle, saves the month, saves everything. So I need to do this. I need to just say very clearly that all the technicals, I'm not talking about the fundamentals, I'm not talking about geopolitics, I'm not talking about any of the fact that the dollar is going to be under tremendous pressure at some point with all the different countries now, wanting to use their own currencies, et cetera, just forget about that. All I'm saying is that, technically, this is not such a great move, although it's a fantastic move when you just think of the speed up over 2000 points in such a short period, not the point. The point is that this particular pattern in a buy mode in the Chapman Wave suggests that you need speed. I can't see a sideways move helping. It needs to have speed, and that would say by early next week, there has to be a trade that is starting to tackle this whole cluster area that took you to 35,047, 35,042 back in mid-February. And it's going to be really important for this cup formation. All right, I wanted to do that. Now, we're just going to run these, there's so many questions that came in, and I do want to get to them today. PXC in the S&P, it needs to get above that high that was made at 45,22. 45,22, round number high on the 22nd, 45,22.01 starts a leg D. We're quite close to it, but close is not good enough. I want to see it, and then I want to see a move that extends leg D, because the technical is 92% in the stochastic. I love that. That is really important. All right, we're going to go to the QQQ, 123, NDX100. That stalling has had just a single leg A from the double bottom that missed, it took out the left side of 1826 from the 24th of Feb. It took it out and went below to 137,45. That was around about the 14th of, yeah, 14th of March. And there was a fabulous move to the upside. But it's so far a single leg A. The Magnus Goods Stochastic is fabulous at 93%. Nine period exponential moving A, which over the 14th, love that. On balance volume is just stalled out. I don't like that. That to me is I like to see them all moving in concert. They're not. There's a discord there. So we're looking at this leg A that became, whoops, 357, 85, 357, 66. So, yep, it was a peak A. And now we're looking, and it doesn't look right. 85, it doesn't look right, 66. So I need to see an extension here. But it looks to me like even though there's been a spectacular move off lows in many of these really beaten down Nasdaq type stocks. This is still just the opening salvo. And it needs a lot more to be able to continue. This is the talk and you need momentum to continue the move. So let's see what happens. You need to see above the 360 resistance. You need to see it at 353 right now. By Tuesday of next week, I want to see it at 361, 50 or higher. I definitely don't want to see it at 345. OK, now we're looking at something much more important. We're looking at the TLT. So a question came in. I see more segment. If everyone knows that interest rates are going to rise and the federal reserve has said six to seven increases. The first has already happened. Why wouldn't everyone be in the TBT? You may or may not address this most important aspect. I've discussed it every single day just about why would I even want to avoid it? I spoke about it yesterday. I said there's a chance. Look, so the TLT, the Lehman 20 year I share tertiary bond fund. That also has 25 and 30 years duration. What we're looking at is made a Truff G. Right in this, let me just show you the techniques that I use. Chattanooga Insight Track Pro Pallant Zone, which has worked for ever since a start of that move. You see the pink and green lines here. That's a little narrow channel within the larger channel. And this says that insight track support level has to hold because if it starts to trade, it doesn't even have to trade. Just has to get 12650. And it says, wow, you're now treating this as a resistance line and not a support line. But look at the TBT, which is the inverse. Made in the P&D Dogey Canal at 2180, three days ago. And it's kind of stalling, even though the Magnees strong, the Syracastics at 86%. Look, the on balance volume isn't really confirming that. So really what's important here, and a lot of people ask me, what about bonds? All I can say is that if you look at the yields, so we go to the yield, which will match this very much, the yields went to a leg D, then a peak D. And that yield is the tenure. Let me just get this out of the way here. So this is the tenure made a high yesterday, a little bit down today. It's still up 0.33 and 23.54, that's 2.354. I'm just watching this. And my sense is that if there is any pullback, it's going to be a fairly modest pullback being a little bit overboard technically, although the stochastic and Magnees are still fabulous. Just appear on a technical basis, you could get a little bit of a sideways move here, but this leg in the monthly, leg C in the monthly, this breakout, this is like a propeller shaft and says, there's a good chance that the 25 area, 2.5 area could become a target and fairly soon. And yeah, we are at 23.52. So all I can say is we're watching this very closely. I need to put this together with things that are happening around the world. And if you look at the dollar up 23 picks at 98.85, all within this rectangle formation at the upper end, you can have digestive foods that just go side because you can eat, which is done the same thing.

Market, US, March, Manufacturing, PMI, 58.5 versus 56.3 expected. You see, this is what the Fed is up against. There are some statistics in the economy that come out, and they are just completely contrary to what the Fed would like to see because they would prefer to see a little bit lower everything and then say, hey, we have every right now to at least moderate our thinking about the upcoming anticipated increase in rates and just sort of get a quarter point and then say a half point when we need it. But this way, this is really a good report under any other circumstances. That's what I've been saying for maybe 10 years now. Well, first of all, when I came to TFNN, I had already for a long time said, at some point, we'll be looking at the Japanization of our bond yields. In other words, we will copy Japan and we will go to almost 0% or 0%. So it was about a year or so ago that I said, you know what, I remember talking to Tommy Brome when I was interviewed one week about a year ago, I said, I think this is the first time that no, it was more than it was less than a year ago about it was maybe in the fall of last year. I said, you know what, I think this is the first time that I'm going to say something very different. I think we're going to start to look at yields going higher. I think we've changed their format. And now if you look at the yields, and this is despite everything that's going on, look, it broke the left side low of 133.19, the TLT. We made a low the other day of 120, I forgot to type that in, 128.34. Let me just type it in now, 128.34. And that says, maybe I'll just show this chart right here.  And I've delayed it just more than I thought I should. So let me just go to this. I'll show you. So it's the 30 year, the 10 year, it's called my weekly triple yield chart that I show my subscribers when I do my market overview video on the weekend about an hour's worth of chatting away in different areas and what positions we have, what we're looking at. So we went to 26.29, 2.629 in the 30 year yield with this week, I think it was yesterday, this week. And look what happened. I'm calling this a C, it could now become an E slash C, but I'm just being very strict here. And look, the nine and the 10 year and the five year, there's a flattening of the yield curve, no question. Look what happened to the wood, ice, globin, timber, forestry, ETF stuck in a trading ground, the rectangle formation forever. It's almost, yeah, it's about a year, it's almost a year. And look at the, this is the high HGX is that Philadelphia housing index finally broke that rectangle formation after a small arch and then a huge arch, which basically was a double top. It was really a triple top and each one of those in the weekly chart, each one of those right side, technically indicators were failing. And here we are, we're below. So a lot's going on. So the Fed is worried, I'm sure, about the housing. They're worried about a bunch of things. Home Depot gets smashed. This is Home Depot, you know, people still doing work on the houses. So what we're looking at here, there is such a mixed picture that I think they have to stick to their, to their charter and just have a plan and stick with the plan. Now, what I want you to do is just to show you the yields to what's going on. I want you to show you the dollar, how important it is, when in fact it's holding very, very well, but close workspace. But if it's going to go again, if it's under attack for the next couple of months, Russia wants to be paying rubles. We've got China wants to do the one. There are a lot of things going on yet the dollar is holding well. One of the reasons is because our economy at this point is still one of the strongest. And that is really important. So now I've covered a bunch of things that I wanted to talk about. Some of them are a little residual. Let's go to questions about Caterpillar. Caterpillar, I'm not going to just go, I know exactly the question. So Caterpillar was discussed. There's a left side, right side price time match, not to the low, but to what I call the lopsided couple of V-shaped patterns. 230.43 was the high in the 18th of January, plummets down to 180, screams up to where it is now, 223. This is F slash B in the daily chart, gone a little bit sideways. Fabulous action, but underneath the all-time high in that 240, what was that? Did I not write that down? Oh, I didn't. I didn't the daily, I thought. Go, go, go, go, go, go. 246.69, that was back in June of 2020, 2021. June? No, sorry, 2020, I believe. Yeah. So am I right? Am I right? Am I right? June, December, January, 2021. So this is really important. Very good action. So it's telling us that the industrial complex in terms of the Caterpillar heavy-duty equipment is in play. It's under the all-time high, but doing really well. Deer is trading very nicely. It's down to today at 429.34, made an all-time high three days ago, and it's just consolidating, but it has broken out. We've got to watch to see that it doesn't slide under 410, 404, key support levels over the next three to four weeks, because then it goes right back into that rectangle. So I should mention that subscribers have deer. We have it over a week and a half ago, set a fantastic move. But look at this. If years are able to get to 445 by a week from today in this candle, this monthly candle of March, I would say that that's really good action. And it's turning the whole area of 415, 420 to 412, into key support. Veil, V-A-L-E. Veil is iron ore pellets, nickel, copper, ferroalloys. It's trading at 20.12. Had a fantastic move just in about a week and a half. It went from the low 16s to 21 round number. I think it just missed it. 20.96 on the 7th. Then it pulls back to 17. That's a big percentage move after such a big move up. 20.96. And then rallies, and I said 20. So this is in play. In other words, the veil looks to me like it wants to go to the 23.19 area to start leg D or higher over the coming weeks. I'm not talking about days. It could be days. I'm just saying the trend is up. The technicals just deteriorated in the daily chart on the short term. They're still not that great. So there's a decide with consolidation. But that weekly chart is suggesting that it is in play. And as long as it holds above 17 over the next week or two, and preferably tries for 21.50, it's in play. It looks very good. Valle, V-A-L-E, 20.12 right now, up 12. C-F. This is C-F Industries, Holdings, Inc.

I didn't appreciate you mentioning it, but you didn't answer the question. It didn't look like it was a question, it was more a statement, but I'll just say this, because it's a valid statement. You may or may not address this. Most just don't understand this, but I will say that this ETF, that's TBT, may not do as advertised, especially in a big down market because it's all about liquidity. This is going to be the downfall of ETFs in general, big surprise on the horizon. I don't want to be an alarmist. I can tell you right now, I could give you a list of things that can go wrong. To me, the most important thing was that we did not keep up that oil and the natural gas and oil production. We have the cleanest, it might not be clean, but it's the cleanest from what I can read around the world just about, and we're working on all the different aspects of generating energy via wind or battery, whatever it is. You've got to do them all, and then one's going to predominate. We should have been in that position. Didn't mean that it was a big error. I don't know. I could give you a list of things that can go wrong. I can give you a list of why there should be the greatest depression coming up in the world, but that's not the issue. The issue is I can also give you reasons why that markets tend to overlook certain things and they look ahead, and there are other things that we don't see until they become apparent. I'm trying my best for subscribers to be under the radar looking at things that are, at least my eyes, important in this particular phase. So all I can say is that the whole area of fertilizers, of everything, I mean, look at wheat. Yeah, it's pulled back sharply from that high, the all-time, not all-time, but major high, at 1363 and a half, pulls back sharply, and now it's just going sideways. It's still very elevated, and what I'd said was that think of the Ukrainian farmers. They're not just going about their business because they've still got to get their supplies to all the different places. So the disruption, it's not a week's worth of disruption. It is weeks and weeks and weeks. In fact, they might be losing a season, and they are one of the, I read, I'm not going to go through it again, what Ukraine has in terms of the soft and hard products that we all need. Now, you know, the grains, the, just, you can go through every sector.  So all I'm saying is, let's look at what we've got and what we've got, and I'm going through those questions now, and the questions had to do with a lot of people writing here for the same thing, but I am going to add right now, one that's in the area of those big capital spending items. In this case, it's a Titan machinery, ink, agri and construction equipment stores, also rental evidently earnings came out today's down almost 8% down to 65 to 30.75. Now look at this. If I show you this, this is Titan machinery, TITN trading 30.75 down to 65. I had drawn this in, I hadn't actually looked at it for a little while because it was one that I discussed with subscribers as something I was looking at as a potential position. Look at this beautiful Chapman Wave inside track propellant zone right there, here it is, the 16th of an inch or something, and it held beautifully when it hit that low back on at 2578 on the 7th of March. I actually, I typed in this A and I thought this is a nice one, this should do the same as the catapult etc. But I was a little, my big thing here is to do with not the fact that they're in the right area, but to do with the supply problems and the constraints from shipping etc. So I think that might be it because surely Titan machinery, agri and construction equipment and stores should be soaring, it should be absolutely fantastic. So it seems to me that that could be a problem. That's the reason why I skipped it as a potential buy, although in the 2829 area, it did run up to the 35s, it's now down at 30. So that was my concern. So now question was TITN reported earnings today and gap down. What price could be an entry point? Do you think it will consolidate a while? You know, I would give it three days. I'd give it until Monday, afternoon or Tuesday. Let's see if it fills some of the gap. If it goes down further, it says, uh-oh, it really is a supply issue. I don't want anything to do with it. If it holds, and the low today was right on the 14 period moving average at 30.50 and it's now trading at 30.95, a little bit higher. If tomorrow it trades above any time between now and tomorrow, it's above 31.40 and on Monday it just kind of gaps into this 32 area to try to fill the gap. Then let's look at it again and I'm going to say we could look at it as a potential for a rebound. But at the same time, I need to know it can survive the next two, three days without having followed through to the downside. So yes, it's on the list and I'm going to write it down here. TITN, TITN, big question mark. Okay, let me go through this. So Hog, question came in. So what I've done now is I've looked at all that whole area of this is to do with steel, iron ore, that sort of thing, agriculture, et cetera. I'll come back to it, but I also want to get to questions. I don't want to run out of time today. Hog, this is Haughty Davidson motorbikes. And what I'd said a long time, I mean, some of my subscribers know we've been looking at Haughty Davidson forever, but then I just gave up on it because they were just doing every, oh, I used to have this so beautifully notated. Look at this move from the load that was made back in March of 2009 at 7.99 and made a peak, ABCDE, then it starts again. It goes A, B, C, D, E, and it makes a final top, an F, a double top, that's 73.95, 74.13, that was May of 2014. Comes back, does the dreaded H failure, does a huge ABCD, peak D again, plunges, and makes a huge arch formation, takes it out, lowercase H goes to lowercase M, and then what does it do? It's a monthly chart, it plunges back down to 10, no, 14.31, 14.31 after hitting the 70s, 74, I think it was, and then it goes to what, peak A, peak B, peak C, and D. And what I'd said is Haughty Davidson, if they had to go electric, but they did something, if they made it so, just so fantastic looking, it has to be just a knock your socks off vehicle, electric, you could finally get a different crowd, not the Haughties that hold the handlebars up in the air, I must say I've never been a Haughty fan, just in terms of any bike that I would have, I've never had a big motorbike, I've had little ones, but yeah, I would go for the kind of racer ones, and so those touring bikes, that wasn't for me, but if they made it electric, and they made it just so that even a person who knows nothing about motorbikes looks and says, wow, that is, that is fantastic, I love one of those, and even if it was silent, they could make it woo woo woof by electronic means, but they would get, they would get buyers, they would get people, they get a whole new crew, anyway, enough for Haughty Davidson, so all I'm saying is that it was a very quick peak APP, peak C and peak D in the daily chart, and not very much in price, and now it's back under the 200-period moving average, I think we have to wait for this, they'll get things right at some point, maybe in another three or four weeks we'll look at it again, but this quick ABC, I heard that Tommy Jr. talking about a logitech, look, oh, there it is, look at that very quick ABC D.

And now it's back again. They all look the same. They all look as if they're in play and that they are having this V-shaped recovery or a little bit of a lopsided one. I like it very much. Just on a purely technical, visual basis. It looks to me like it could consolidate a little bit longer. I probably, if you want, if I know you're already in it, the question is in it. I would add to it on any pullback. It's at 11.72. Give me a yell when we're looking at it together at 11.15 to 10.95. In that area, I think we're going to look at it and see does the consolidation last a little longer. It doesn't have a potential to recalibrate in terms of peak F and it will change that notation if it goes higher in the weekly chart. Leg D in the monthly. All of them are Ds, but if you're still desperate in the Ukraine, which is a big feeder for the world. Oh, talk about, now I'm not going to get into it. Tomorrow I'll talk about it. If I remember, I want to talk about food and I want to talk about global warming. I want to talk about choices that have to be made. Sometimes they just have to be made. That's all the estimate within that context. Yeah, this is all in that category. So now a couple of things that have come in that I'm, oh, what I was saying is that Logitech, it's funny because I had done my work on, what was it? What were we looking at there? I'll put a line right through so now I can't even read it. Okay, CMG. Good grief. Let me just see. Oh, Holly Davidson. Hogg, you remember I was talking about a very quick and the Chapman methodology going in a very narrow range, going from PK to PB, PTC to D, all in a couple of bars. Usually you get a pullback. It doesn't say major sell, but it just says, wow, be ready for a quick pullback. Well, when Tommy Jr., this is a great show, market kickoff, nine o'clock in the morning. It also has an extra bonus besides Tommy, Kevin Hinks, three times a week gets interviewed. So it really is a very informative show. Peak, AP, PTC from the low that was made at about 67, just on the 7th of March, somewhere around there. And yeah, we are in Logitech. And it's just a very quick four piece. And all it's done is it gone from 67 to 75, which sounds like a big number, but he used to do that in just two moves to the upside. And look at the weekly chart. So this is very important. A lot of these stocks that have just been decimated going from 140 Logitech Inc. computer peripherals goes all the way from 140 down to 67. I mean, you're really cutting half more than cutting half. And it still hasn't gone above the nine period moving average in the weekly. It's right on it. That's the pink line there. So a lot of work needs to be done. A couple of questions that come, oh, FXI. Yes, GTI, look at FXI. FXI is of course the large cap. This is a large cap. I shares China ETF gone quickly from a peak A to a B to maybe a peak C today. Huge gap 26 to 33. I mean, that's a big percentage move. Whoops, it did go from 54 down to 26. It got cut in half. So more than cut in half. So this candle here, we're going to look at very closely this monthly chart. Is this going to be a Chapman wave Roman candle at the lows, meaning that China in fact might have made a decent bottom and that he could start moving doesn't tell you how high. But if there is a close on a monthly basis two out of three months above the high of this month, we don't know what the high is just yet. But if there is one, it says that means that the candle, not the week, but the candle low. In this case, it was the low of the close 32.29. That should become major support. The whole 33 to 32 area should be major support. If there is a close going into April, above whatever the high is based on this particular candle, that'll be a good sign for for China. We'll see what happens. Baba Baba is an Alibaba very quick peak A, peak B, peak C, and now it's pulling back. But what? And we've 73 to yesterday's high of 124. 124. That's a double. I mean, that's incredible. Oops, it went from our 319 down to 73. So you see what happens when you're coming off lows. That's the reason why I tried desperately for more for subscribers to try to get these major terms. People say, Oh, nobody gets the terms. Well, that's not true. We've got major, major turns upside and downside. And they can be done. What happens when you get the turn? You've got yourself a cushion because if it rallies, now that turning point if it's taken out, it's a big deal. So if as long as it stays above it, you've got a cushion. And in this particular instance, we're looking at these a lot of stocks that have been decimated. So when the question comes in, and I got another question that pertains exactly to what we're talking about here. Hi, Basil. Are you still calling the monthly S&P a peak B? I have no choice. It is a peak B. There's just nothing else I can do about it. It might have to change somehow, some way, but it is a B. This data designation has kept me and I'm sure many other long-term subscribers listeners in the market. If you change this notation to a D, E or F, subscribers and listeners should now be shorting the balances correct. So, you know, we're talking timeframes. We're talking long-term portfolios. I'll get into that a lot more tomorrow. In fact, I lost that chart. It was there. I don't want to go back. Tomorrow I'll show what I showed subscribers this last Saturday in my overview section in the webinar. I'll show you tomorrow what I'm looking at in the monthly chart. But all I can say is, if you want to go negative, I can give you negatives that you wouldn't even want to get out of bed. If you want to go positive, I can give you positives that say, are you nuts? How can you even be thinking that way? But you've got to be able to see both sides of the coin and let the prices tell you, look, I spoke about a monthly chart. I can't talk about the S&P monthly until we get into give me a break. There you are. Okay, finally got it. Until, look, if I talk about this monthly chart, which looks absolutely fantastic in the monthly chart of the S&P, all of a sudden, a Sunday night, there could be news. Who knows what kind of news it could be. Instead of being green, it could be red and we're under the 42.95 14 period exponential moving average. And I have a call. I don't want to talk about the monthly chart until it's done. All I can say is as it stands right now, this very second at 1049 on the 24th of March, that's Eastern time with the S&P up 27.94 at 44.83. It looks the daily, the weekly and the monthly have improved incredibly since the 41.14 low of the 24th of February. And that no one thought it would be. I don't know about no one. Not many people thought it would be this high. I like what I'm seeing, but I'm not going to make a call on a monthly chart. I can't even do it on a weekly chart because we've still got all of today to complete all of tomorrow. So all I'm saying is as it stands right now, that's what I'm looking at. Now I have to go to the GDX, see how quickly went from PK to PT, the leg seat. This usually denotes residual strength, but not major. This is all torque based, not momentum. It's just my, it is good that the GDX is at 3905 within that back down, but it just showed tremendous support.

So, Bitcoin futures, someone mentioned that Dan really said Bitcoin big pop. So, look at this. Do you remember when we were talking about how the very quick and the Chapmany methodology put quick A to B to C to D in a narrow range, usually denotes that there should be some kind of a pullback that you kind of stuck in a range. Well, we just got that leg D in the Bitcoin futures. One of the reasons why I say to subscribers, I don't really want to do anything with the Bitcoin right now. It looks to me like it's in a range and you've got to time it perfectly to be in it so that it can rally. But it also has a chance to have some big moves both up and down. So, this is what I'm saying. So, that was the question there. So, yeah, it is good. The 200 billion moving averages on Bitcoin futures is 45.56, 45,056, right now it's trading at 43.650 until we can get above that rectangle, which is at about 44,000, 350. I just think it's kind of stuck for now. You can see the weekly chart, same thing. LAC is a question. LAC is, this is the Lithium Americas Corporation. I love this as subscribers know, we've been talking about this for some time, Lithium, but we've also had to make choices. I don't like to get overly long in too many sectors. So, this I do like and bounce, look at the bounce of the 200-period moving averages. This is fantastic. And now it's making a recovery high, but it's going to bump into the 33407 high of the 4th of January. Yes, I like it and I am calling this a B. I could call it an E, but I think I'm going to call it a B for now in the data. It's acting very well. Tremendous support in the 3150 to 33.80 area is a 3355. I think it's going to try to head towards the previous high. It might take a little while because it keeps pulling back sharply, but I think it's head is towards 4556, the high of December of last year. So, I do like it and that's, oh, we're out of time. Okay, so I'm going to write some of the questions down that I didn't get to. It was important to create what we're all looking at is, we need to see in the down, a move that doesn't just bump into the high, I want to see in the 3500 and 650s high.
