“It all started when we received an inquiry from Ms. Takano, a second-year student at the School of Medicine, Osaka University, asking, ‘What will happen to my data after I graduate?’

‘I carry everything I have learned since my first year with me and review it from anywhere.’

This is a special interview with Ms. Takano, who focuses her learning through a digital portfolio.”

How do you actually use LoiLoNote in your university classes?

What impressed me the most is that I can add content from the internet, as well as photos, audio, and videos, into my own notes.

I am not very good at understanding things through text alone. The more complex the content becomes, the more my understanding deepens when I turn it into diagrams, draw illustrations, or add audio. For that reason, LoiLoNote is essential to my daily learning. I can connect academic papers, my professors’ materials, handouts, my own notes, and web pages, gather all the data in LoiLoNote, and review it anytime.

For example, I can search online for photos of diseases or for parts that I do not understand.

During class, I truly feel that I am engaging in deeper learning than anyone else. What I learn really stays with me, and I never feel sleepy.

Because my mind is always active during class!

Researchers Should Make Greater Use of LoiLoNote!

I can combine and organize all the data I have learned since my first year and carry it with me on a single tablet.

From my smartphone or PC, anywhere, even while traveling, I can easily review it whenever I need to.

How to Use It

1. Digital Notebook

I draw a line down the middle and use it like a traditional notebook. The responsiveness is excellent and there is no time lag, so I can take notes in LoiLoNote with the same feeling as writing on paper.

In classes where handouts are not provided, I take photos to keep a record of the blackboard. It is also easy to reorganize my notes because I can simply switch them with arrows. With paper notebooks, I used to write things like “related to page 3,” but later I could not remember what it meant. With LoiLoNote, I can simply connect items and reconstruct the relationships between my notes, which is very convenient.

By using an iPad Pro with a paper-like screen protector, together with an Apple Pencil and LoiLoNote, it is actually easier to write than on paper!

2. Instantly Research During Class and Learn with “Living Information”

I have started to enjoy collecting and researching academic papers.

I highlight important sections of papers and leave comments on them. It is also convenient that I can carry a large number of papers with me. When there is something I do not understand during class, I look up previous studies on the web and deepen my understanding. It is very useful that I can also store web-based information.
