Advantages and Disadvantages of Typing
Advantages of Typing include enhanced memory retention and active engagement with material, promoting deeper cognitive processing. Disadvantages may include time consumption for those with limited typing skills and potential accessibility issues for some learners.
A proficient typist can efficiently take detailed notes, aiding comprehension and leading to higher performance on exams. Conversely, a learner with limited typing skills may struggle to keep up, potentially hindering their ability to engage fully and demonstrate their merit through written assignments.
In contrast, voice-to-text technology offers benefits that address some of these challenges, though it presents its own set of considerations in relation to learning and merit-based assessment.
