| Interactive electronic note taking has enhanced some of my chemistry courses. Using DyKnowTM my students dynamically receive the content I am ‘writing on the board' at their computer station. The students then annotate the material enhancing what they take away from each class session because they no longer struggle to catch every subscript or functional group. Their focus is on supplementing what I write with their interpretations about what I say. The pen-based feature of the software allows students to annotate freehand in addition to using keyboard input. Additional features of DyKnow™ increase the interactive nature of the course by allowing the instructor to share individual student work with the entire class. This talk will briefly introduce the tool and then focus on the evidence that using this electronic tool has enhanced communication of material in two 300 level physical chemistry courses and one 100 level inorganic course. |
