sketchnoting
Sketchnoting reminds me of the mind map that I use to organize my notes. It really helps to categorize knowledge into different section and visualize it. I used to draw it on a paper, but nowadays we have an app like XMind so that we can work the mind map in a digital form.
I think Mayer’s Pre-Training Principle can be applied here. For example, in the middle of the mind map above, we have 6 sections, and then each section will extend into a deeper branch.
In memory of the lecture notes, I think it is important to visualize the notes so that they can be easier to remember.
One response to “W3 Blog”
Hi Steven,
As a individual with a visual memory myself I resonate with your note on how lecture notes become easier to remember through the use of graphics! Although I’m not sure “left-brain right-brain” science has any merit, it sure does sound like a left-sided brain, (the “artistic” side), trend to me!
In your own lecture notes do you use these online programs? Personally I find hand-sketched notes to work in a more efficient manner.
Cheers,
Darcy
