To tackle such an issue, we propose an artificial intelligence-inspired multilanguage framework for the generation of the lecture script (of complete) and minutes (only important contents) of the lecture (or speech). The existence of different factors like disturbance (noise) from the environment, learner’s lack of interest, problems with the tutor’s voice, and pronunciation, or others, may hinder the practice of preparing (or taking) lecture notes effectively. During the process of the conveyance of lectures, it is mostly observed that students (learners) are supposed to take notes (minutes) of the subject matter being delivered to them. With the advent of technology and digitization, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its tools for the imperative dissemination of information to learners are gaining more ground. Achievement findings suggest that the optimal note-taking medium depends on the nature of the lecture and whether notes are reviewed. When taking longhand notes, the product function of note taking was more beneficial than the process function of note taking (i.e., better text-related learning and similar image-related learning). Achievement results showed that when taking laptop notes, the process function of note taking was more beneficial than the product function of note taking (i.e., better image-related learning and similar text-related learning). Note-taking results showed that laptop note takers recorded more notes (idea units and words) and more verbatim lecture strings than did longhand note takers who, in turn, recorded more visual notes (signals and images) than did laptop note takers.

One unique aspect of the study was determining how laptop and longhand note taking influence the recording of lecture images in notes and image-related achievement. The present study investigated whether note-taking medium (laptop, longhand) influenced note taking and achievement when notes were recorded but not reviewed (note taking’s process function) and when notes were recorded and reviewed (note taking’s product function).

There has been a shift in college classrooms from students recording lecture notes using a longhand pencil-paper medium to using laptops.
