Audio recording devices are valuable tools to use in lectures, critiques and tutorials because they enable you to review and reflect on the recording at a later date. They are particularly helpful if you struggle to write notes at the same time as listening, and/or if you have concentration difficulties.

There are many different audio recording options. These pages contain information about tools to support your note making, with a focus on audio recording devices:

• Dictaphones
• Audio Notetaker Software
• Livescribe Smart Pen
• Evernote
• Apps for tablets and mobile devices

*We advise that you check with your lecturer before making a recording.
