My name is Doug Neill and I'm passionate about helping others reach their full creative potential. I teach a skill called sketchnoting (also known as visual note-taking and graphic recording), which for me is a gateway to doing better work. Check out the resources below for more info.

Wow, this has got to be one of the best videos I’ve come across on KZread. It was clear, the visuals were great, you got to the point and I enjoyed the story you wove together. Definitely going to use your ideas to help me complete my online course. Thanks 😊 so much.

Glad you found it to be helpful!
I really like the suggestion of setting a dedicated time and space. Thanks for the video!
WHAT!!! Who the heck is the hater on this? Dislike? Aaaaaaarghhhhh! Remind me of a dialogue involving DiCaprio telling someone the person will be loved by everybody if he behaves like Jesus. The guy replied, "But they crucified Jesus!" Don't mind the hater(s). Great Work. And keep it up!
The came real handy for times like these. Thanks!
Really useful tips.. you made me to think in a strategic way to get most out of online courses. Earlier I used to enroll for many online courses, however, never used to complete those fully. With the steps as mentioned in video, it will be a immense help for me. Thank you
finally, thank you so much verbal to visual, this was really helpful, making my course will be awesome now.
Great tips and great video. I am creating an online course and I came across your video when I was looking for tips to share with the students. Thank you.
I am very grateful for this video🙏🏼
Dear Doug, as always I love your video, your speech is clear cristal, your message very useful and practical. I can only thank by now for the great teacher you are. I hope one day I'll find an English teacher whose method is based on the emotion not grammar. Any creation, beautiful as yours, has its root in feelings, emotion, memories. Congratulation. LOVE, LIVE, LEARN n LAUGH MAC
Very good points, will definately follow them to keep going and achieve my goal.
Agreed because like buying a book and not reading it, so many purchase online courses and don't watch or even integrate their learnings. There is one thing I would caution here: Step 4: share your learnings. While I understand sketchnoting can be for personal use, it's important not to share or encourage others to share copyrighted and intellectual property that is not yours. It's illegal. And while it might seem "promotional" I suggest contacting the author first for permission before posting.

For sure! The type of sharing I'm talking about here is the original work of the learner using the new skills they've learned, not the sharing of any instructional materials or intellectual property.

Thank you very much for this useful tips!
Have friends that share my passions in real life? Haha, I'm glad you included some humor in this, might have been too dry otherwise.
thank you so much!
This makes me think what I´m learning online. How to make a video game. so far, I learned how unity works, but I decided to publish on twitter how my progress is going, even if nothing was done in 3 weeks, have been done in unity, because of the assets, I also have been learning blender, to create the assets to use. and now that I have passed the first hurdle, making a hand, I might have a character by the end of the week. Since I cannot on this moment see y friends, I send them directly my progress, for some of them is a daily progress, for others is a weekly or mayor hurdle progress.
I like your last idea, never even occurred to me.

Thanks Ben! That one's a good way bring some in-person connection to the online learning process.
great video! love it
Hey Doug, love your video and courses. One question: how do I know if it's legal to share a sketchnote I made summarizing ideas from a book? Isn't it problematic regarding copyrights? This is keeping me from publishing and sharing my sketchnotes... Thanks!

I think the simple way around that is to give credit to the source: what course is it, from which platform etc. Your comment was made 4 years ago but might still be helpful to new viewers
Awesome
Loved this. Very helpful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you! :)

With pretty much any topic that you'd find in a course, there's an online community somewhere discussing those ideas, so I say try to find that community!
This is a great video!

I have a hard time with online classes. I'm so used to a classroom setting. Not having a instructor to ask questions that I'm confused about messes me up

you lack initative and discipline. the ability to think and do things for yourself cannot be taught in a class room.
I think this was a insightful and helpful video. I normally take in classroom courses and since this whole corona virus deal going on, I have had to make some adjustments to my routine and take online courses because my school has been closed. The idea of taking online courses was intimidating and alien to me, but the advice you give and the suggestions you make have given me a little more confidence, and I just want to thank you for that. Good video!

'Meet up regularly with a friend'.. Yeah, that doesn't work when you're the only one that's working on a better future for themselves. I still have no idea where to find the right friends irl. Good vid nonetheless

I believe that you slowly start getting yourself into a newer environment where you can find these friends. And by making sure to work on yourself so you can attract the kind of people you want. This is what I'm trying to do. Hope it helps :D
congradulations. you wasted everyone's time with sophistry.
