Some folks are better at recall if they maintain a visual focus on the presenter or screen. Some remember best if they listening intently, possibly with their eyes closed. Others remember best if the information is written down. (You get the picture.) Providing a skeleton outline or 'advance organizer' is one teaching technique that helps learners who lack the cognative skills or discipline to organize information as it is presented. I'm sure the same technique will work for fully-able audience members who might be preoccupied or not fully focused for other reasons. Cornell Notes method provides clues about traditional note taking. It might be that they've expanded their research to include non-tradional or innovative methods as well.

To make matters worse, you've even persuaded an old college buddy to give up untold hours during Noviembre in pursuit of self-infliced, sleep-stealing, carpul-tunelish (sp?) fun. Shame on you.
