Visual Note Taking
Visual notetaking is a process of representing ideas non-linguistically. Visual notetaking can include concept mapping, but also more artistic ways of visually capturing and representing ideas. On the simpler side of the visual notetaking continuum, visual notes can be used to create narrated art. On the complex end of the spectrum, some visual notetaking applications support the creation of whiteboard animation videos which include audio narration synchronized to screencasts of drawings. Visual or graphic facilitation can be used at meetings to summarize presentations and guide discussions. Whether simple or complex, visual notes can be used to more deeply process information as well as communicate it to others with images.
The Journal Note is a task for students capturing information related to ENBE lecture into visual notes to improve their understanding of the content delivered during from the lectures. Students will need to formulate their own topics, related to natural environment and built environment. For the 4-5 week submission, students will then need to make an overall conclusion of the few topics that they are submitting. At the end of the semester students are required to submit a compilation of all their notes.
For this project, it was categorized as an individual assignment. Students are required to produce the visual notes in A3 cartilage paper with maximum pages of 50. Students must include conclusion from part 1 and part 2 that should not exceed 2 pages. All information of the notes will be hand written and hand drawn.
The visual noted should related to the main component of the module which is natural environment (ECOSYSTEM) and built environment (SPACES).
The topics are formulated as below:
E - Elements
C - Clouds
O - Ozone layer
S - Seasons
Y - Yield
S - Solar power
T - Temperature
E - Endangered species
M - Moon
S - Space architect
P - Parks
A - Architecture
C - Cities
E - Engineer
S - Sustainable construction
Based on the Taylor's Graduate Capabilities that were to be harnessed from this assignment, I managed to practice lifelong learning, thinking and problem solving skills, and intrapersonal skills.
LIFELONG LEARNING
I able to analyze and the elements of natural and built environment in their basic unit, form and function. I also understand how to communicate ideas through observation and using different media/tools/techniques to present information of the study of natural and built environment.
THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
I able to think creatively throughout this project and able to arrange the layout of it nicely.
INTRAPERSONAL SKILLS
I did research on my own on internet to get ideas and inspiration such as doodles and sketches. I also did research on the particular topic to get some information about it.
