Dear Sandra and all
A colleague here at Plymouth has been involved in research about the value of doodling whilst listening or taking part in a learning activity -
http://esciencenews.com/articles/2009/02/26/do.doodle.research.shows.doodling.can.help.memory.recall
- as a doodler myself I intuitively 'know' that doodling whilst listening helps my concentration ... helps me make ideas 'my own' - and it may be a useful precursor / preparation for more seriously purposed notemaking or mind-mapping ...
happy Fridays everyone
John

Subject: 'Student Notemaking' tutorials for discipline staff
Dear All,
The LearnHigher staff resource Team will be working with me here at
London Met on the 12/13 May to produce a 'Student Notemaking' resource
for discipline staff (one on academic reading will follow).
To develop this, I will be drawing on our literature review etc. (please
see <http://www.learnhigher.ac.uk> - and follow the links to notemaking)
- but I would really appreciate your input to make this resource the
best that it can be.
If you have further
activities/icebreakers/research/FAQs/resources/tips... on notemaking
that you would be willing to share - please get back in touch with me -
and, of course, I will be really happy to credit your contribution!
With best wishes,,
Sandra
