Notetaking Services
Notetaking Services are provided to students registered with the Accessible Education Center (AEC), whose disability impairment(s) prevent the student from taking notes during course lectures. Notetaking services are designed to reduce disability-related barriers that impact a student's ability to take notes during class. However, students are still responsible for using academic skills and management strategies to learn the material.
AEC's Notetaking Services serve two purposes:
- To provide students with access to lecture material, and
- To help students develop their own skills and strategies for successful notetaking.
As such, the AEC highly encourages students to try the audio notetaking technologies. Learning to use software/apps now is a great way to prepare for your future after SJSU and a great tool for the workplace!
