Flanigan, Abraham E.; Kiewra, Kenneth A.; Lu, Junrong; Dzhuraev, Dzhovid – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Many college students believe that typing lecture notes on computers produces better notes and higher achievement than handwritten lecture notes on paper. The few studies investigating computer versus longhand note taking yielded mixed note-taking and achievement findings. The present study investigated computer versus longhand note taking but…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Liu, Caixia; Zhou, Weichen; Yang, Jiumin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This electroencephalography (EEG) study tested the benefits of generative learning and the underlying neural mechanism of these benefits when learning from video lectures. Twenty-six Chinese young adults independently viewed two video lectures in a repeated measures design. Each video lecture was broken into 40 segments, and after each segment,…

Flanigan, Abraham E.; Titsworth, Scott – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
Laptop computers allow students to type lecture notes instead of relying on the traditional longhand (i.e. paper-pencil) method. The present research compared laptop and longhand note-taking methods by investigating how the quality (i.e. complete versus incomplete idea units) and quantity (i.e. total words and total idea units) of typed and…

Luo, Linlin; Kiewra, Kenneth A.; Flanigan, Abraham E.; Peteranetz, Markeya S. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2018
There has been a shift in college classrooms from students recording lecture notes using a longhand pencil-paper medium to using laptops. The present study investigated whether note-taking medium (laptop, longhand) influenced note taking and achievement when notes were recorded but not reviewed (note taking's process function) and when notes were…

Luo, Linlin; Kiewra, Kenneth A.; Samuelson, Lydia – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
Note taking has been categorized as a two-stage process: the recording of notes and the review of notes. We contend that note taking might best involve a three-stage process where the missing stage is revision. This study investigated the benefits of revising lecture notes and addressed two questions: First, is revision more effective than…
