Note Taking

I encountered a post that seems a natural follow up to my own post on supplementing student note taking. The author of A Teachers Life offers some links that seem to focus on the Cornell Notetaking system. If I remember, the Cornell system suggests that students divide a note taking into two columns – taking notes in one column and “reprocessing” in the second column.

I wonder what the digital equivalent of such a system might be? Any system for saving text (even WP) would allow reprocessing in ways that would not be efficient on paper. Wiki-type tools (e.g., Notemesh) would seem promising as a way for students to collaborate on note-taking, improve the quality of notes generated by any one individual, and access a set of quality notes for review.
