Build an Online Course with Sketchnotes
Turn your passion and skills into a transformative educational experience for others.
The Thing About Sketchnoters
Here’s something that I’ve noticed about the people who become enthusiastic about sketchnoting:
Lifelong Learners & Makers
They’re eager to continue building their visual thinking skills and use those skills in new ways.
Skills & Experience
They’ve already got experience and skills in some other field.
Passion
They’re passionate about the work they do in that field and the impact that it has on the world.
Generosity
They want to share that passion with others.
What I’m presenting here is an opportunity for you to bring all of those things together to create an engaging and transformative online course that others will benefit from.
How Sketchnotes Can Help
Here’s how sketchnoting will help you throughout the process of building an online course:
Course Development
Use sketchnotes to help research, plan, and create buzz about your course by sharing your work as you go.
Lesson Delivery
Create visual hooks within your lessons to more efficiently and effectively share your ideas.
Student Action
Create engaging printable activities to anchor the actions that you encourage your students to take.
Who’s Making This?
My name is Doug Neill, and here’s a bit of my background:
- In 2011 I received a Master of Arts in Teaching from Pacific University, with secondary certifications in Math, Science, and ESL.
- That same year I got pulled into the world of visual thinking and documented my skill development over at The Graphic Recorder.
- I launched Verbal To Visual in 2013 to help others develop their sketchnoting skills, and have built five courses to date: An Introduction To Visual Note-Taking, How To Make Sketchnote Videos, Sketchnoting In The Classroom, Learn In Public, and Learn a New Language with Sketchnotes.
Follow The Journey
In addition to learning from my past experience, you’ll also get to see me and a few friends of mine each develop an entirely new course from scratch, and have conversations each week about how it’s going.
