Module 5 covers web-enhanced listening & viewing strategies. the Module breaks down the different methods you should take notes that pertain to the various forms a lecture can be presented. For example, when it comes to taking notes on a power point lecture it is helpful to go ahead beforehand and print off the slides before the class. That way when taking notes you personalize the teachers lecture slides to your doing. It is also nice to break up the Power Point slides into different sections, by organizing it in certain groups it can prevent you from getting confused and lost when you decide to refrence these notes again. It is important to focus on the lecturer on what he/she says, since you already have the text printed in front of you, it will be easier to write down examples of anything they go into detail on. I thought these tips were important because the most popular method of lectures at The Ohio State University is off power point slides.
When listening or watching a video or any type of audio it is important that you outline or organize your notes so that you will not lose track of all the information. One method of note taking I thought was the most helpful is the Cornell Method. The Cornell Method specializes in working off of cues, examples, questions, and summaries. By picking up on certain cues it can help you remember infomation easier, the same goes with examples. Examples and questions provide a sense of clarity, to test yourself to see if you really know the material you are being lectured on. Lastly, summarzing is very important. Summarizing allows you to gather all of your infomation and focus on the main points you learned.
There are many differnet types of technology that can help you enhance your note taking skills, such as OneNote, mind maps, lecture recorders, wikis and much more. As well as many online sources to help improve your note taking skills.
