For those who follow visual facilitation and visual recording, you might be happy to hear (or see) that VizThink is hosting an online “Visual Note Taking 101″ course this May 12, 2009. Participants can be present live at 11 AM or view it later. 

We first encountered visual recording when representing West Coast Green in 2006 (note: WCG 2009 kicks off at Fort Mason this October 1-3rd, join us!).

Their partnership with The Grove, who facilitated the popular Action Hub for the conference (among many other great contributions), meant many brainstorming sessions in the WCG offices.

The VizThinkU session is led by Austin Kleon, Sunni Brown and Mike Rohde.

Here’s the scoop from the website:

“Ever since Leonardo put pen to paper, visual note-taking has been a route to improve the quality of your thinking, make information more memorable, and make your ideas easier to share with others. Learn practical techniques and “tricks of the trade” from modern visual note-taking masters Mike Rohde, Sunni Brown and Austin Kleon. In this three-hour course you will learn how to use visual note-taking to improve your listening skills and take better, more memorable notes. The focus of this class will be on how to write, sketch, and diagram ideas live, in real time, as you hear them. Many of the techniques you will learn will also help to improve your skills in drawing your ideas at the flip chart or whiteboard.”
