چکیده
Although digital devices are replacing paper and pencil in ever more domains, class notes have so far resisted this trend. In part this is because class notes and the note-taking process are unique and different from the tasks supported by existing software. A system to support classroom note-taking should embody seven design principles. A prototype system based on these principles was used in the laboratory and in the classroom by three long-term users. Some users prefered note-taking with the system over pencil and paper, suggesting that taking lecture-notes with the computer is feasible.
