This study aims to develop design strategies for a mobile note-taking application which is able to
effectively support learning process of college students. The design strategies of the mobile note-taking
application could be categorized as follows; 1) considering the context of college student and their
involving instructional practice, 2) connecting note-taking and specific learning outcomes, 3) utilizing the
potential of mobile application features. The design strategies were applied to develop functions and menus
of the prototype note-taking application; such as note-taking comparison based on the user’s learning
process(i.e., prep, in class, and review), task and time management for facilitating self-directed learning, and
flash cards for supporting conceptual/factual learning. Actual use of the prototype version of note-taking
application was examined through the user test participating 8 college students. Several further
considerations are needed in order to maximize the potential of note-taking application that leads
meaningful learning support; providing a training opportunity for application use, selecting essential
functions, and increasing the development of mobile-friendly instructional materials. The result of this study
suggests a new possibility of note-taking practice supported by the development of ICT that contributes to
yield positive learning outcomes. At the same time, further research ought to be conducted that explore
the effects of note-taking application use on the learning performance and process.
