Piolat, A., Olive, T, & Kellogg, R. T. (2005). Cognitive effort during note taking. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 19, 291-312.

Notetaking is hard…harder than playing chess


Multi-layered Notes

•When the student is allowed to take notes in class while listening to the teacher, watching a video, or accessing information from the interactive white board, that student can then go back and re-listen to those notes as many times as needed. They can layer on new notes as they are listening over and over and still have the audio linked to the new text.
