This is something that I tell my students on the first day of class. Because I rely on class discussions to guide the conversations, our class times feel more like a set of hyperlinks than a linear PowerPoint presentation.

Maybe one way to develop this skill should be to have students post their notes from a class discussion in a hyperlink capable textual format? Right now, most of my students post pics of their notes to the Moodle because they struggle with re-creating the "jumpyness" of the class time in text box for the Moodle discussion forums. But, if they were to learn how to write out their notes in a digital format, it could reinforce the interconnections of the texts and topics in my classes.

Reading this reminds me of the all email messages I get from students in which the sender is labeled as "School" or "SNC email" which throws me off when I search for their archived emails.
