Learning biology in higher education requires innovative strategies so that students can understand concepts more deeply. One approach that is considered effective is the use of material visualization, because it is able to simplify complex concepts to be more easily understood. This condition confirms that the biology learning process still needs to be optimized, one of which is through the application of infographics as learning media that can increase the clarity and attractiveness of the material. This study aims to test the practicality of static infographics developed in a structured manner for the needs of Biology learning for generation Z. Content and design validation have been carried out at the development stage through expert assessment, so this study focuses on practicality testing in limited trials. The study of the effectiveness of is planned in further research. This research is a research and development (R&D) model referring to the ADDIE development model. This research product is a static infographic that was tested for practicality on 57 students in the structure and development of animal organ system material. This study used a questionnaire as an instrument. Data were analyzed quantitatively. The results show that the practicality level of static infographics in the Animal Structure and Development course falls into the practical category at 51.02% and the highly practical category at 32.46%, indicating that the media is considered practical. These findings are expected to help optimize Biology learning and serve as a reference for higher education institutions.
