Sketchnoting is form of making notes and incorporating visuals into the text (or text into the visuals).

What it helps with?

People are in general (at least in 65%) visual learners. They pay attention to graphical content and are able to remember pictures extremely well. You probably heard this quote:

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Visual + Verbal

It is even more powerful form of presenting information. Not every word can be expressed effectively in a graphical way. And still one picture can express more than 1000 words, right?
