INTRODUCTION
In many presentations and documents we tend to present huge amounts of data. One might not have time and energy to go through the entire data every time. We are then required to present the data in non-verbal items like maps, charts, tables and diagrams.
Information Transfer is presenting verbal accounts of facts and processes in pictorial form and conversely changing graphic representations to writing. This involves learning how to restate a given material in different ways. It is an important skill that we need at the college and university levels as well as in professional and personal lives, both to explain a map, graph or table in speech or writing and to re-present a verbal text in graphic form. Information Transfer is used specifically in the contexts of narration, physical and process description, listing and classifying, comparison and contrast, showing cause and effect relationship, and generalizing from numerical data. Therefore Information Transfer helps us to further develop the ideas and compare the facts.
