How Students Can Take Notes During a Live Online Lecture

Attempting to write notes in an external notebook or a separate application while watching a teacher explains a complex proof causes you to lose focus on the screen.

Split-screen multitasking leads to missed concepts and divided attention

Switching windows between a video player and a word processor interrupts playback, creates lag, and breaks your mental train of thought during fast-paced lectures.

Use an integrated side-panel notes editor in your lecture view

  1. Join your live class on EduVetta from your student dashboard or batch link.

  2. Click the Notes icon on the right side of the screen to reveal the side panel.

  3. Type formulas, definitions, and questions directly alongside the live digital board.

  4. Rest assured your text automatically auto-saves every few seconds without manual button presses.

Put it into practice

Example: Chemistry reaction notes during live lecture

A student records reaction mechanisms directly beside the digital board during organic chemistry class, reviewing the timestamped note immediately after class ends.

Worth checking first

  • Use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+B or markdown headers for fast formatting on the fly.
  • Notes taken during class remain accessible even if the teacher later removes the recording.
