Promoting Information Access: Facilitating Note-taking

Note-taking is vital in academic coursework. However, note-taking can be problematic for many students, including students with limited manual dexterity, non-native English speakers, etc.

Tips:

• Providing a lecture outline facilitates organized and clear note-taking.
• Speak slowly enough to allow students to take notes.
• Use contrasting colors for presentation materials, including white boards, slides, etc. Dark colors such as black and dark blue are more visible than light colors.
