Web-Enhanced Listening and Viewing Strategies (Module 5)

This module was centered around ideal practices when learning online. The most useful thing I learned was from the video on slide 7. It said to look out for keywords that highlight important topics in a lecture. This is important to me because I find myself writing A LOT during lectures, and I rarely need most of the things I write down. Something I’ve already implemented is the outline method that was talked about in the different types of note-taking methods video on slide 15. I like this method because when looking through all of my notes, it’s easier for me to see the main points of each page because it’s organized neatly. When I’m taking an open-note test/quiz I can easily go through pages. One thing I’m definitely going to try out is writing my notes out instead of typing. Just like it said in the PowerPoint, I struggle to retain the information I type. I haven’t really written my notes down in a while so I don’t remember if it helped or not, but it doesn’t hurt to try, right? You won’t know which is better for you until then. That’s my advice to offer. Experiment with different things until you find what best works for you.
