I thought I would take a moment to jot down my approach to sketchnoting/visual note-taking - there are many people who have thought/written a lot about this and I’ve certainly been inspired by some amazing note takers (ahem, Giulia Forsythe). I’ve been doing it for the past 3 years in an effort to get more out of webinars, conferences and reading that I was doing. I was feeling frustrated about jotting down notes in a notebook or Google Docs or Evernote and never returning to them.

I like to alternate between doing it digitally and old school with markers and paper.

Here are some of the tools that I love . . .

Digital

I’ve always used Paper by Fifty Three - I use this on my iPad with a mini Adonit. I export the photo files and share them on Twitter and on my blog. To be honest - it’s the only tool I’ve ever used and I’m so happy with it, I’ve never tried anything else.

Sometimes, I prefer just good old markers and a sketchpad. I use a larger sketchpad with a hardcover to make it easier when I don’t have a table. I use a variety of markers including: 

Sharpies

Tombow dual brush markers 

Paper Mate flair markers

Prismacolor markers. 

I usually either scan these or take a photo. I’m a big fan of the CamScanner app - I’m usually too lazy to go over to the proper scanner or I’m doing it on the fly at a conference. This allows me to quickly sharpen the image and increase the contrast. This makes for a more crisp and bold image.

More Resources

I’m always looking for inspiration - so I’m always adding to my Sketchnotes Pinterest board to get ideas for layout, icons, and fonts. 

I also own Mike Rohde’s The Sketchnote Handbook: the illustrated guide to visual note taking. 

I also think that Kathy Schrock has collected some great resources.

You can find my sketchnotes on my blog: becomingblended.tumblr.com (here!). I use these for quick, personal reflection regularly and I can honestly say that this has changed how I process information at conferences, webinars and more.

MOOC pedagogy: the challenges of developing for Coursera

Implications of the article for secondary school?

innovation through online approaches, multimodality

...MOOC platforms appear to justify their status by promoting curricula that are equivalent to campus-based courses, with a strong focus on content delivery and an emphasis on the rigor and formality of their assessment methods.   However, some of the most interesting and innovative practices in online education have emerged by challenging these very ideas; loosening institutional control of learning outcomes and assessment criteria, shifting from a focus on content delivery to a foregrounding of process, community and learning networks, and working with more exploratory assessment methods – digital and multimodal assignments, peer assessment and group assignments...

hybrid approach?

whether MOOC teaching might take place in conjunction with established teaching practices. 

participation and assessment, less trad/formal/rigid, text-based reading, critical viewing of films and structured discussion as the primary pedagogical activities.  Visual artefacts will be generated, and ...a means of building dialogue and debate ... encourage the kinds of spaces that participants can both contribute to and, crucially, take ownership of.  Participatory practices and customs in the wider social web are integral to this approach... how pedagogical modes can be extended to create more open learning spaces

visual practices foregrounded in digital media use might challenge the dominance of text, and its associated forms of knowledge, in established academic traditions ...assessing participation - we will take a creative and visual approach, focusing on peer-assessment techniques over the automated MCQ strategies that are most-used in Coursera MOOCs.  One of the real challenges with the MOOC format is the extent to which it can be sensitive towards the kinds of assessment methods that underpin many humanities and social science disciplines
