Sketchy Ideas #24 - Higher Ed Climate, 3D sketchnotes and Anchoring.
Welcome back to the sketchnote roundup.
Each week I share two visual ideas to inspire, get you thinking and perhaps help you create your own visual too.
This week we're talking the climate, 3D sketchnotes and anchoring. So let's go full steam ahead.
Content: Higher Education and the Climate Crisis
Campus technology for the climate crisis: a summer 2022 workshop | Bryan Alexander
Last month I offered a workshop on what climate change might mean for higher education. I’m just starting to do this kind of thing, so I’d like to share and document it here. The settin…
How will Climate Change affect higher education? It's a big question that Bryan Alexander recently presented on and he raised some interesting points here. Thanks to GraphicRecordingStudio.com for capturing the event and Lisa Sieverts for sharing this sketchnote with me.
The style really is worth paying attention to as well. The gradient body which manages to work with white and black text, the night sky header. Grid arrangement, illustrated and simple banners.
Style: 3D sketchnote!
Okay, this sketchnote is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Not only can you move through elements, It has something I've wondered about for a while: links on objects.
As part of using sketchnotes with obsidian and knowledge management tools, I've wondered about the idea of tapping on a word and it takes you to a sketchnote just on that part of the topic, or to a page about the speaker.
Fuselight creative's tech stack seems like a step in that direction.
Bonus: Using anchoring for good (not evil)
I have a confession. My interests in cognitive biases has often been for ill. They can be tools to..."help" people make the decision we want them to.
While I do believe there's an ethical way to do that, I don't believe it's as simple as deciding if the outcome we are convincing them to take is good for them (Not least because it ignores whether they would agree as well as whether it's our right to decide for someone else.
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of other people using them on us, being able to recognise them and correct them in ourselves is something I believe we all need to get better at.
I hope this little series will help.

Anchoring is a power cognitive bias that can cause us to make bad purchasing decisions. But we can use it on ourselves to make better choices
See you in the UK?
My family are making our summer pilgrimage back to my home country for the first time since the pandemic (we have been to the UK already, just not for a long summer trip.)
We'll be primarily around London for most of the time from the 2nd till the 20th.
If you are UK based and interested in a sketch up, send me a message and let's see if we can make it work!
Otherwise, see you in the next edition.
