Today I pushed out Update #2 to the Cornell Notes Learning Vault. The response to this learning tool has been phenomenal. Let me highlight some of the key enhancements in this update. FYI: This is a free update to all registered users. tfthacker.com/cornell-notes
@NickMilo suggested that seeing the Summary of a note at the top of a document would be an interesting experiment. I am glad he recommended it. It is a great alternative for document summaries.
A number of professors working in academia want to use the Cornell Note style for their student handouts. So the learning vault has been updated for better printing support. This is being produced from a markdown file in Obsidian.
Of course, this update includes new document samples, updated documentation, and fixes to the underlying style sheets exist. More details about the updates are listed here: tfthacker.com/Published+by+TfTHacker/CNLV+Changelog
Some have asked if this note-taking method conflicts with other methods, like atomic notes, evergreen, or Zettelkasten. The answer is now, it's complimentary, and it works very well with these other note-taking methods.
Some also asked if the method is outdated? No. The note-taking methodology on the surface very simple, but the Cue and Summary concepts have a proven track record for productive notes. It is also nice that the concepts work equally well on paper or in digital form.
If you are new to Cornell Notes, I did a write-up about it that goes through the basics. medium.com/obsidian-observer/from-paper-to-pixel-mastering-the-cornell-note-taking-method-in-the-digital-age-dae13ed83c29
