VISUAL LEARNING & SKETCHNOTES
Scalable, customized interactive workshops that train faculty to utilize sketchnotes and visual learning strategies to enhance student engagement, retention, and comprehension, particularly for English language learners (ELLs) and students facing literacy challenges.
🎯 Why It Matters 🎯
Today's students face complex learning environments. Schools are under pressure to show measurable improvements in math, science, and literacy.
Learning and applying visual strategies:
Increase comprehension & memory through dual coding
Reduce language barriers for non-native English speakers
Support higher-order thinking aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy
Foster equity through Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
“Students using sketchnotes recalled nearly 2x more content than text-only note-takers.”
— Journal of Educational Psychology (source)
