Date and Time: The Power of Visual Notetaking

Presenter: Zaid Ali Alsagoff,  AQL Learning Innovation Consultancy (AQL-LIC), Malaysia

Description:

In this webinar, we will explore the basics in drawing, notetaking and digital drawing to empower you to take visual notes both conventionally and digitally. Visual notetaking is the most powerful notetaking method for long-term memory, and unleashing your creative mindset. Educators can use it to visualise, simplify and summarise their courses, modules/topics and lectures. Students can use it as a powerful learning, memory and assessment tool. Visual notetaking is also a powerful tool for creativity, storytelling, brain-storming and problem solving.

At the end of this webinar, the participants will be able to:

• Draw cartoon faces, stick figures, connectors and other elements for visual notetaking; 
• Strategize notetaking layouts and take visual notes; and
• Use Autodesk Sketchbook (app) for visual notetaking.

About the course

Facilitating Online provides a solid foundation for facilitating online events and courses. It is registered as a short course at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Facilitating Online was developed by the Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) at UCT and is funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York as part of its support for the e/merge Africa network. It is convened by Tony Carr and Nicola Pallitt and co-facilitated by facilitators from across Africa.

We consider applications in the order in which they arrive so earlier applications stand a higher chance of being accepted
