Open Education at a Crossroads

I’ve really enjoyed capturing keynotes and conversations live. It involves being playfully curious about what’s being communicated, and wondering how the pieces of the puzzle could fit together in a visual landscape.

I’ve always prioritised the capturing of messy insight over the creation of beautiful art. Somehow the ideas start to tell me where to put them and how they should fit together.

Often this process is called graphic recording or live scribing. But I think that neglects the intensive listening and translation that is involved.

This sketchnote was created whilst tuning in to Catherine Cronin & Prof Laura Czerniewicz give their keynote at the OER24 conference in Cork last year. It’s available to use under a CC licence.
