title: Lecture note-taking, learning and recall.
abstract: Note-taking by students is generally seen as an integral and essential part of the process of learning from lectures. Here we review the literature on the efficiency of students' note-taking and the extent to which they actually learn as a direct or an indirect result of taking notes. Attention is also paid to the relevance of research in this area to modern lecturing practice and to the problems of researching in the area.
