Cornell Notes
Cornell Notes is an online Cornell notes template the whole class can write together. Questions go on the left, notes on the right and a short summary at the bottom, just like the paper method.
Use Cornell Notes together on your board.
When it is time to revise, Quiz me covers the notes and the summary. Each person answers from the questions, checks the answer and marks it Got it or Review again. Those marks belong to each person, so everyone tests themselves at their own pace.
It runs on a shared MockFlow board, so a teacher and students, or a study group, see the same page and every edit stays in sync.
- The classic Cornell layout. Questions on the left, notes on the right and a summary at the bottom of one page.
- Quiz me mode. Covers the notes and the summary so you recall each answer from the question alone, with a count of how many you recalled.
- Personal review marks. Got it and Review again marks are yours only, so each person revises on their own while sharing the same notes.
- Simple formatting. Each line becomes a bullet point, and double stars make a word bold.
- Reorder questions. Drag the grip beside a question, or focus it and press the up or down arrow.
- Undo and new pages. Undo brings back a deleted question, and Start a new page clears the sheet for the next lesson.
