Last Thursday and Friday, I had the pleasure of working with Sascha Geßler on one of our Certified Scrum Master courses to keep. For all our training sessions, we create a photo protocol afterwards in which you can read everything at your leisure. This training was also documented by participant Andrea Wendt from Volkswagen AG in a very special way, which we would like to share with you: as sketchnotes!
What are sketchnotes?
Sketchnotes are a combination of text, structures and illustrations. As a rule, they are not structured linearly, but visually. Sketchnotes do not claim to be perfect, but are created quickly during a presentation.
By simply listening, we perceive about 20% of the content; if the content is visualized, we already remember 50%. If we link or implement the content with our own experiences, we remember around 90%. In sketches, we become active while listening and document the content in writing and pictures. Some presentations may be taken from the lecture, others we develop ourselves. By creatively combining images, writing and our experiences, we create a kind of "anchor" in our minds. This makes it easier for us to remember and we are also more actively involved during lectures.
We hope that you like Andreas' sketchnotes, just like Sascha and I do. They certainly inspired me and I spontaneously bought a pad and a few pens at the weekend, as well as the book "The Sketchnotes Handbook" by Mike Rohde to get started.
At this point, a big thank you to Andrea for making your wonderful notes available to us! Finally, I just have one question for you - what experience do you have with sketchnotes?
