Although the beta version of LectureTools allowed students to take notes associated with particular lectures, our feedback from students has always indicated that they prefer to take notes synchronized with specific slides. Recently the student notebook was overhauled to allow students to take notes associated with slides.

How the new notebook works

While navigating through the instructor’s slides, the notebook will automatically navigate to the corresponding notes “page” for that slide. Additionally, clicking on the page number of a notebook page will not only load the page, but also change to that page’s corresponding slide.

To maximize screen real estate, a particular notes page can be collapsed with the [] icon. The Lecture Dates Sidebar can also be toggled on and off by clicking the []. This frees up more space for the notebook.

Students can also print their notebook such that the notes print alongside the slides. This enables students to export their notes as a PDF to access offline and lets students make a physical copy for study purposes. Of course, all digitized notes are searchable, allowing students to find particular slides and notes in seconds.
