What is the most effective way to make notes?

The Note Taking Effect is the well documented effect that taking notes during learning increases retention and recall.  There are factors that effect it such as whether you type or hand write - the latter is more effective - for example.  This episode looks at research into the underlying cognitive processes that may help us improve our students retention through more effective note taking techniques.
