- 1. 1 SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING & DESIGN Research Unit for Modern Architecture Studies in Southeast Asia Foundation of Natural Build Environment (FNBE) Elements of Natural Built Environment ARC30105 (FNBE 0115) Prerequisite: None Lecturers: Ms Delliya Zain, Miss Noorul Iffa, Pn Hasmanira and Mr Paul The Journal Note Visual Note Taking 20% Individual (out of the 100% overall marks) Submission Date: 26th March, 21st May, 12th June and 24th June Introduction 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. http://maps.playingwithmedia.com/visual-notetaking/ The Journal Note is a task for students to capture the information during each ENBE lecture into visual notes to improve their understanding of the content delivered during the lectures.
