Here are my visual notes from chapter 2 of 'Design for How People Learn' by Julie Dirksen. There was so much in this chapter that could be really useful in analysing learners' needs. Each section in the book includes great tips about how to meet the needs of different types of learners. A lot of this will be very familiar to school teachers, as we are used to adapting each lesson for 30+ people with very different needs and experiences. Lots of people have asked about my process for creating these notes. I use an iPad with an Apple pencil to write and draw my notes. I use an app called Procreate because I'm already familiar with using it for digital art, but there are lots of other apps that you can use. There's a useful list here: https://lnkd.in/enY9G7fG Other chapters: Chapter 1 https://lnkd.in/eYdEw3cs Chapter 2 https://lnkd.in/e2S9QRuE Chapter 3 https://lnkd.in/eDjxaF5x Chapter 4 https://lnkd.in/eY99EV3m Chapter 5 https://lnkd.in/evmPy5j3 #instructionaldesign #designforhowpeoplelearn #training #upskilling #transitioningteacher #sketchnotes #visualthinking
