  • Students using tablets incorporated more drawings, highlights, and media in their notes, but this did not translate into better recall compared to other methods.
  • The findings suggest students can choose their preferred notetaking method without worrying about compromising their understanding, and future educational practices might increasingly integrate or replace traditional note-taking with digital tools.]
