@aus_teach @stefanhansen @edutooters Simon, have you used this with your students? If yes, paper or digital?
I felt vindicated for taking notes by hand...after reading this:
βThe students who were taking longhand notes in our studies had to be more selective. You canβt write as fast as you can type. And that extra processing of the material that they were doing benefited them.β
The researchers noted the two types of note-taking and defined them in this way:
Generative: Summarizing, paraphrasing, concept-mapping characterize this approach.
Nongenerative: Verbatim copying describes this approach.
As you might imagine, the generative approach has a greater impact on learning. (Source: https://blog.tcea.org/note-taking-and-outlining/)
