Digital Scribing & Time-Lapse Video Workshop in Nashville

Discussion with Heidi Forbes Oste on the Value of Visual Practice

As part of her wider research into the tools and methodologies used by the next generation of global leaders, Heidi Forbes Oste has started down the path of researching the value of “visual practice” (visual facilitation, graphic recording, mindmapping, sketch-noting, etc.)

As a piece of her dissertation, Heidi’s research on the visual practice, although still in the early stages, focuses on how it supports leadership and global teams using social technologies.

In this one-hour webinar with Alphachimp's Peter Durand, Heidi answered questions and gave insight into the broader trends at the intersection of social systems, collaborative technology, visual learning, innovation and global leadership.

ImageThink: Prezi for Free Speech — Empowering Autistic Children

ImageThink worked with inventor Ajit Narayanan to visualize the concepts in his talk for TEDActive titled 'Free Speech: Empowering Autistic Children.' Prezi transformed our visuals into a dynamic presentation that told the story of Narayanan's Free Speech app. Part of the popular network of TED events, TEDActive took place in Palm Springs last month, focusing on young, undiscovered innovators. Collectively, the videos of the TED conference talks have been viewed over 1 billion times.

We'll share the video as soon as it's live, but in the meantime you can read a synopsis on the TED Blog.
