What are sketchnotes?
At school, during training, at university and later in everyday office life, we are constantly faced with the challenge of gathering a large amount of information as quickly as possible. We automatically pick up pen and paper and take notes, but that’s not necessarily very efficient. If you try to write down everything said, sentence by sentence, it takes far too long.
Sketchnotes help to record information quickly and compactly with symbols on paper, for instance, or on presentation systems such as flipcharts and whiteboards.
The method of sketchnoting explains itself, when you look at the term more closely. Sketchnotes use a combination of pictures and words to commit ideas to memory. So sketchnotes are nothing more than visual note-taking. Above all, sketchnotes help to visualise contents easily and understandably.
