Hi PJ! I’m glad you like it. These skecthnotes are made with an iPad app called Paper by a company called 53. The developers of the app have made it completely free so it’s really worth trying out. Sketching out the notes, figuring out what is important, really helped me to pay a bit more attention to the text. I mostly write down key phrases, so creating the sketch notes does not take too much of an extra time, it’s certainly worth it for me.

Ed, great! How did you produce these Sketch notes? Is it an software tool? I think slowing down is important to enhance learning and to avoid “knowledge indigestion” (Baggeley, J. (2014) MOOCs: digesting the facts, Digital Education, Vol. 35, No.2., p. 160). Also I think that creating an original product like this enhances ‘deep learning.’ Inevitability, it becomes a ‘time management’ challenge. Kudos to you for paving the way. Cheers, PJ
