Synopsis 

Effective note-taking helps students to manage and organise information gathered from readings and seminars in a way that improves higher order thinking skills. Given that students will have to make connections between disciplines in their course of study at SUSS, this skill will also enable participants to actively and quickly process and synthesise materials across different disciplines.

In an age where digital resources and interactive learning tools have become integral to the education landscape, this workshop is designed to provide participants with digital note-taking techniques using innovative platforms such as VitalSource Bookshelf, ThingLink, and LiquidText. The workshop aims to equip participants with the skills to optimize their study methods, engage with their course materials in a more interactive manner, and ultimately enhance their academic performance.
