Here's a little experiment: without looking at your smartphone, can you tell exactly which app is in the top right-hand corner of your home screen?

Although we look at our mobile phones so often every day, most of us won't be able to answer this question. But what does this have to do with MLS?

Of course it's about learning. If you take your own notes when you're learning, you process the information much more actively. And that's exactly what helps your brain to memorise everything better. ๐Ÿ’ก

Why your own notes are so helpful ๐Ÿง โœจ

When you write something down, you automatically think more about it:

  • What is important?

  • How can I say it in my own words?

  • What do I want to remember?

This means that you understand the content better, retain it longer and are more active when learning. So you don't just learn faster - you also learn more sustainably. ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ“ฒ It's even easier with MLS!

There's a really practical function for you on the MLS learning platform:

๐Ÿ‘‰ You can make your own notes directly - and save them digitally!

And this is how it works. In the "Own content" area, you will find a "Notes" tab.

Click on "+Create", give your note a title and record your notes in the text field.

You can work with different fonts, add links, integrate photos and much more. You can also upload files (e.g. PDF files) via "Select files".

This is what it might look like for you:

You can of course edit or delete them at any time later.

๐Ÿ“Œ Important note: You will also find a โ€˜Notesโ€™ function in the learning tasks. If you make a note here, you and your learning guide can see it.

So if you only want to write something down for yourself, go to โ€˜My content -> Notesโ€™. ๐Ÿ”

๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ Use notes and learning tasks in parallel

It is a good idea to make notes while you are working on the learning tasks. Here's a little tip: Go to the menu item โ€˜My contentโ€™ and open the context menu with the right mouse button. Then open this in a separate tab and you can use the notes function in parallel by switching between the browser tabs.

Your advantages with the MLS note function:

โœ… You always have your notes with you - on your mobile phone, tablet or PC

โœ… You can easily find them again - everything is clearly stored

โœ… You learn in a more targeted way - perfect for exams or repetitions
