Abstract
Collaborative note taking enables students in a class to take notes on their
PDAs and share them with their “study group” in real-time. Students
receive instructor’s slides on their PDAs as they are displayed by the
instructor. As the individual members of the group take notes pertaining to
the slide being presented, their notes are automatically sent to all members
of the group. In addition, to reduce their typing, students can use text they
receive from other students and from the instructors slides to construct
their notes. This system has been used in actual practice for a graduate
level course on wireless mobile computing. In developing this system,
special attention has been paid to the task of inputting text on PDAs,
efficient use of the screen real estate, dynamics among students, privacy
and ease of use issues.
