1 INTRODUCTION
Taking notes is an important ability for college students to develop both in and out of the
classroom. The notes taken during a class lecture should be a compilation of the key facts or
concepts delivered by the professor. Implementing a note-taking system is critical for various
reasons. To begin, the faculty member may be giving extra content that is not available in
your textbook but is necessary for you to acquire in order to relate to existing knowledge or
introduce new material inside your textbook. Secondly, the knowledge offered in a lecture
may be utilized in subsequent evaluations such as quizzes, exams, and reflection papers.
2 THE IMPORTANCE OF NOTE-TAKING SKILLS
According to Blackbourn (2021), effective note-taking aids in the retention of knowledge and
the comprehension of that information. These notes will serve as a record of our thoughts as
well as source material for our next creative or business effort once they have been made.
Taking notes is a distinct type of writing. Moreover, taking notes throughout the class will
help individuals remember more of what they've learned. Reviewing the notes immediately
after class to add extra points or develop questions for clarification allows for increased
retention and comprehension. Effective note-taking abilities will aid in exam preparation and
future content understanding.

3 THE APPROPRIATE TOOL FOR NOTE-TAKING SKILLS
Evernote is a highly recommended tool and is cross-platform, for Android, iOS, macOS, and
Microsoft Windows. Evernote is an app designed for note-taking, organizing, task
management, and archiving. (McCracken, Harry; 2018). This is because the app allows
users to create notes, which can be text, drawing, images, audio, or stored online material.
Additionally, notes are stored in notebooks and can be tagged, annotated, edited, searched,
given attachments, and exported.

3.1 Advantages of Evernote
There are no limits to what users can accomplish using Evernote, and it is convenient to use.
Evernote can be used for personal, public, or even common usage by students, multinational
enterprises, small businesses, and even families.
There's no need to synchronise local copies between devices. Premium customers
have access to note history, which allows them to restore information from previous versions
of notes (Chron, 2019). You may use Evernote Business to manage project and work data
among co-workers without having to keep track of different files, emails, or applications if
you utilise Evernote Business (Chron, 2019).
Moreover, students can manage information in Evernote if they have an Internet-
connected device. Evernote Web Clipper is a browser add-on that allows people to manage
and contribute information to Evernote from any device. Evernote offers a comprehensive
organising system that allows to divide notes into notebooks. Students can also tag entirety
notes to make it easier to find them later (Chron, 2019).

4 CONCLUSION
According to the findings of the study by Kani,J (2017), students are receptive to having a
tool like Evernote employed in the research consultation and that the application may be
important in managing the material and search keywords presented during the consultation.
Hence, in this current era of globalization, individuals should adapt and apply any digital tool
to assist them manage their daily work particularly taking notes since it is the most essential
skill in students’ and teachers’ lives in order to ease things. Briefly, Evernote is an excellent
app for taking notes and it is strongly suggested that users must use it as a note-taking tool.
