Parallel note-taking: A strategy for effective use of Webnotes

Many instructors supply online lecture notes but little attention has been given to how students can make the best use of this resource. Based on observations of student difficulties with these notes, a strategy called parallel note-taking was developed for using online notes. The strategy is a hybrid of research-proven strategies for effective note-taking and reading. This paper describes student difficulties using online notes, reviews note-taking and reading strategies, outlines the parallel note-taking strategy, and describes the method for teaching this strategy. Additionally, the paper presents the results of a survey which confirmed observations of student difficulties using online notes and which suggested that parallel note-taking should be appropriate in this situation. Finally, the paper describes several ways for developing online notes and teaching students how to effectively use them as a learning tool in the classroom.
