Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) studied whether students learned more after taking notes by hand rather than using a computer. They conducted a study in which students were randomly assigned to take notes using a pen or by typing on a laptop. The study found that students learned more after taking notes in longhand than after typing notes. The researchers wondered whether writing encouraged expression of concepts in the students' own words, whereas typing encouraged relatively mindless transcription that led to relatively poor learning. To investigate, the researchers devised a transcription score, the percentage of notes that was verbatim transcription from the lecture.
