Seeing the words on the screen as I say them reinforces the message. Second, many students are visual learners. Now, students can pay closer attention, without the fear that they will miss something. First, this system eliminates the need to transcribed lectures verbatim. My students absolutely loved the technology. You can also play the audio at different speeds, and even skip the empty spaces with no sound. And if you click on any part of the transcript, it automatically starts playing the audio. You can quickly search the transcript for key words. Otter can separate when I am speaking, and when a student is speaking. This transcript was generated in real time as the class progressed. Here is a link to my ConLaw class from Wednesday. The easiest way to understand how this software works is to review a transcript. And, a running transcript is created that students can access during, or after class. As you speak, closed captions are generated. It is possible to automatically transcribe a Zoom call in real-time. They can simply fill in gaps in their notes later. I've told students they do not need to type everything I say. Since I started teaching in 2012, I have live-streamed all of my classes to YouTube. But because I have a very idiosyncratic way of learning that likely does not fit how others learn. I would never trust someone else to prepare my outline. I've always been skeptical of this approach.
With this approach, students can still obtain a detailed class outline, but still have time to actually pay attention. He or she can use a laptop, and then share notes with the entire class. To remedy this deficiency, some professors will appoint a student as the designated note taker for a given class. But without a laptop, students may feel that their outlines are lacking. Many professors have banned laptops, for among other reasons, to force students to take careful handwritten notes. The most important element of class is the ability to ask questions. Third, students in transcription mode may not think of important questions in the moment. Students do not have time to re-read the entire class from scratch.
Second, verbatim notes are usually ineffective. First, students have to focus so hard on capturing every word that they seldom think about what is being said. This sort of rote stenography is very, very ineffective. During class, students will often type everything a professors says.
