Sketchnotes: Capture & Retain Information Visually

Korshub's take

Visual Note-Taking as a Learning Tool

Sketchnoting transforms how you retain information by forcing your brain to synthesize content in real time. Catherine Madden's one-hour class teaches visual summarization techniques that work in classrooms, on calls, and while watching content—anywhere you need to remember what matters. The course walks through both analog sketching and digital methods using the Paper app, providing a practical toolkit for creatives and professionals who want to remember more of what they learn.

About this course

Join data designer and doodler Catherine Madden for a one hour class demonstrating techniques for creatively and visually summarizing content in a way that helps you process and retain the information. If you have been in a classroom, on a conference call, or watched a TED talk that has interesting content, but you can’t seem to remember the key points, visual note taking (also known as sketchnoting) can open up your mind in new and exciting ways.

This class doesn't require any special materials, but we do walk through ways to create digital sketchnotes using the Paper app by FiftyThree for iPad.

For those of you looking for some of the articles, websites, or books I reference in the class, you can find them here!

Here is the digital sketchnote I reference briefly in the intro section:
