They can be saved and reviewed, have text and/or sketches and/or images (even video too), be shared, revised, elaborated with audio both to add to notes and to read back the prose, and more. As the article points out, there are numerous benefits possible by taking notes digitally. Auto-correct is also valuable. But there’s more.

I think a PDA sized device for data capture (audio and video for instance) is more plausible than a tablet, and vice versa for serious content consumption and creation. I want kids writing, diagramming, drawing, editing video and audio, and more. Then there’s content creation. That more would be actual model building.

Audio’s a funny case, in that it can be static as text or dynamic as audio. Audio is valuable when you can’t take your eyes away (e.g. the audio guidance on a GPS, “now turn left”). Audio is valuable when you can’t take your eyes away (e.g. Note that there are halfway points.

The point is that content is prepared media, whether text, audio, or video. So, we can be getting things for an individual, or it can be something that’s socially generated or socially enabled. It can be delivered or accessed as needed. Compute , interactive capability, is harder, but potentially more valuable.

Audio, on the other hand, is direction-independent. One of the limitations of visual systems is their ‘directionality’; you have to be pointed in a particular direction to notice something. Movement in the periphery of your vision may draw your attention elsewhere, but otherwise you’re pretty limited.

The pages can contain a variety of media: text, audio, video. Authoring tools, in general, are oriented on a ‘page’ metaphor; they’re designed to provide a sequence of pages. And then there are special pages, the ones where you can interact. And, of course, these interactions are the critical point for learning.

It can be any medium – paper, audio, digital – but it’s about providing support for the gaps in our mental capabilities.

An interview could produce an audio recording. The learner is driven to content resources (audios, videos, documents, etc) by meaningful activity. A sim use could produce a track of the learner’s exploration. A group project could provide a documented solution, or a concept-expression video or performance.

We’ve created tools that allow us to capture things accurately: cameras and microphones with audio recording. Basically, your brain fills in the rest (which leaves open the opportunity to make mistakes). What do we do? This allows us to capture the context exactly, not as our memory reconstructs it.

Not all the necessary resources are books or even print, and as libraries are now providing video and audio as well as print, and on to computer access to resources beyond the library’s collection, so too can it be about people.

Audio capture is a possibility, but the transcription may need editing. There is a caveat: if large amounts of text need to be captured, neither a pocketable nor a tablet are going to be particularly great. Handwriting capture is still problematic, and touchscreen keyboards aren’t industrial strength text entry solutions.

Given that learning is action and reflection, I think experimentation and reflection are a crucial part of self-learning. Look for links.
