Development of Notetaking Instruction System with Handwriting Interface

Abstract

It is known that notetaking instruction leads to improvement of students' motivation for learning and understanding. However, it is not easy to instruct how to take notes enough for each student in classroom. We have developed a notetaking instruction system with handwriting interface. Our prototype system is designed for arithmetic calculation by writing. The user can take notes on the system the same as usual notetaking because our system is equipped with a handwriting interface. We have defined three instruction rules. They are laying out group heads, inserting blank spaces and separating the page for additional information. The diagnosis results and instructions are immediately presented to the user. Our system has realized individual notetaking instruction in which the user can learn the basics of how to take notes through real-time instruction.
