N2 - Some non-native speakers struggle with lectures conducted in English. It may be hard for them to pick out key messages when reading books or lecture notes. Microsoft PowerPoint has an “add notes” feature. We propose to use it to attach lecture notes to individual slides instead of compiling all lecture notes in a conventional book form. Students learn key points from slides and detailed explanation from slide-based lecture notes. A suitable learning approach, deep or shallow, can be chosen according to personal learning goal on a slide-by-slide basis. Student-centered learning is empowered to a high level of granularity in a blended learning environment. Lecturers may update slide-based lecture notes more effectively and efficiently than separate sets of slides and lecture notes.
