Description
Summary:This Innovative Practice Workshop aims to expose engineering educators and students to the basics of sketchnoting as a creative and non-traditional visual listening and idea generation methodology. It has shown to foster in-class engagement during lectures especially in the virtual environment, when lectures are paced accordingly. When applied in an engineering learning environment it has been investigated to foster subject matter comprehension and retention; based on the premise that in order to visualize a concept it has to be understood. The session participants will actively learn, practice, and develop basic sketchnoting skills, addressing the conference theme of convergence in engineering education by exposing students and faculty to this low-fidelity visualization technique originated in design disciplines. The session will provide an introduction to the building blocks for visual notetaking focusing on engineering and scientific disciplines. The session will be interactive and hands-on covering the process from learning the basics, to developing an understanding for sketchnoting and how to apply it.
