In their book Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning, authors Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel lay out the science-based practices that lead to sticky learning. In this new video I share the three overarching takeaways from the book and explore how they relate to the skill of sketchnoting.
Here are a few of the highlights:
- Focus on retrieval, not review.
- Space out your learning, don’t cram.
- Keep it varied, not monotonous.
And here’s how the final visual turned out:
If you watch the whole video, let me know if there’s a new practice that you plan to weave into your learning efforts.
And if you’d like to build the skill of sketching out ideas in support of deeper learning, check out our library of courses.
