Research has also shown that the more senses you use, the more material you learn. Even if a student is a visual learner, adding auditory & kinesthetic components (any combo of the three) provide more opportunity for better meta cognition. The best way to learn is to do both: initially notetaking on a computer then handwritten (or vice versa) and taking it a step further with highlighting key points/vocabulary from either placed on notecards and/or create quizlet after the lecture. Some students may go back to the auditory component and record key points/reflections/vocabulary. Either way the more you work with the material in a variety of ways, the more it sticks.
