This term, coming back to full teaching load after 2 yrs in an administrative role, I have been struck by how many of my students -- I would say 90% -- have gone back to pen-and-paper notetaking in class, as opposed to laptop or tablet. I mentioned this in a seminar today and was rewarded with fervent nodding and murmuring. Are students receiving encouragement to go back to the future in this way? Or has it just happened? And are there implications for online learning, etc.? JD Fleming
