A tweet about Urry et al. (2021), published in Psychological Science, found that note-taking medium—laptop versus longhand—does not significantly affect immediate learning, failing to replicate the 2014 finding that longhand is superior.

Interesting quote: If anything I was more convinced that I didn’t want to teach. I saw it as a trap for bright kids. Also, I had developed the idea that there’s something fundamentally wrong if the teacher’s previous job is student. It’s incestuous. There has to be some real world in there somewhere and often there isn’t for teachers and professors. That weakens what is being taught and it weakens the credibility of the teacher so the effectiveness of transmission of information to students is also worse.
