There is research showing benefits to both collaboration and note-taking, but a lack of research into how they may both work together in an online context. More specifically, there is a gap in the research looking at how collaborative note-taking and individual note-taking can be compared when considering the quality of the notes taken, and how note-quality can impact student performance. The present study looks at the online note-taking behavior and performance of 186 graduate students studying at a Korean university. The results indicate that students who collaborate perform better than individual note-takers on measures of recall of course content, but that individual note-takers perform better on tasks focused on academic writing. Furthermore, the findings suggest that note-quality has no effect on collaborative note-takers' recall of course content, and a slight negative impact on their writing, while individual note-takers benefit from higher quality notes for both recall and writing.

有研究表明协作和记笔记都有好处，但缺乏关于它们如何在在线环境中协同工作的研究。更具体地说，在考虑笔记质量时如何比较协作记笔记和个人记笔记以及笔记质量如何影响学生表现的研究存在差距。本研究考察了在韩国大学学习的 186 名研究生的在线记笔记行为和表现。结果表明，协作的学生在课程内容回忆方面的表现优于个人笔记者，但个人笔记者在专注于学术写作的任务上表现更好。此外，研究结果表明，笔记质量对协作笔记者的
