This suggests students should be encouraged to pick the note-taking method that appeals most to them. In light of conflicting research regarding the best note-taking method, our study showed that longhand note-taking is not superior to tablet or laptop note-taking. The tablet group had the highest presence of drawing, highlighting, and other media/tools. The median word count was 131.5 for tablets, 121.0 for handwriting, and 297.0 for laptops (P=0.01). No significant difference was found in the factual or conceptual recall scores for tablet, laptop, and handwritten note-taking (P=0.61). Notes were analyzed for content, supplemental drawings, and other media sources.
A second short distractor video was shown, followed by a 30-minute assessment at the University of California, Irvine campus, over a single day period in August 2018. We allocated 68 students into longhand, laptop, or tablet note-taking groups, and they watched and took notes on a presentation on which they were assessed for factual and conceptual recall. We therefore sought to confirm the hypothesis that tablet-based note-taking would lead to equivalent or better recall as compared to written note-taking. However, few studies have investigated the use of tablet-based note-taking, which allows the incorporation of typing, drawing, highlights, and media. It has been theorized that writing notes by hand requires more complex cognitive processes and may lead to better retention. The traditional note-taking methods of longhand writing have been supplemented and replaced by tablets, smartphones, and laptop note-taking. Technological advances are changing how students approach learning.
