Visual Notebooks<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>In June, Creativity & Innovation Faculty Fellow Kris Stanec began a research project on how the use of Visual Notebooks enhances learning outcomes for students. This fall, she collaborated with faculty in eleven classes to run pilots that tested the effectiveness of Visual Notebooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creativity & Innovation provided faculty members and students with a notebook, materials, and a series of PowerPoint slides. At the start of each class, students used their notebooks to respond to a mark-making prompt developed by Stanec, Jane Hilberry, and participating faculty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through her research and the pilots this fall, Stanec discovered that Visual Notebooks (VN) offer a way of learning that decolonizes traditional methods of education by valuing many ways of knowing, including intuition (alongside logic) and embodied understanding. Significantly, using Visual Notebooks in classes creates an inclusive space where students feel comfortable using their own languages (linguistic, metaphorical, and symbolic), lived experiences, and modes of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
