In our evolving digital age, many students swear by taking lecture notes on laptop or tablets, while others stick to the old-fashioned pen and paper. Some argue that though the digital note- taking takes a bit of getting used to, technology has advanced the level of convenience and productivity.
Traditional note-taking allows for quick and easy creation of diagrams, charts, sketches and mind maps, all important visual aids for enhanced learning. Studies also show that students are less likely to retain information when using laptops for different uses, especially for note-taking, as they usually copy teacher’s words without thinking much about the context. On the other hand, those who take notes by hand are forced to paraphrase words to keep up with professor’s speech, thus they arguably digest the information better. So the question comes down to: can we take it to mean that traditional note-taking is more effective? Not quite. Going digital is the clear winner for the sake of staying organized. Typing is obviously faster and documents are searchable, shareable, accessible everywhere and less likely to get lost. Diving into the digital world also helps save space, time and be environmentally friendly. If laptops and tablets are not used as a replacement for active thought but as an aid to the traditional method, the possibilities for digital note-taking are endless. Let’s talk about the app you need to make it all happen as you wish: EleEditor.
