Note Taking Supports

• Organize notes, record lectures, type or write notes, to improve note taking skills, retention, and comprehension by allowing students to focus more on the course lecture content and less time taking notes. 

  The ATI offers a number of options to support students with notetaking. The most commonly used solutions are as follows:

  Livescribe Smartpens
