Dear Friends Reponding to a discussion a while back about note taking. I use a variety of note taking methods - many of which have been discussed. One that I did two weeks ago worked well. The particpants wrote handwritten notes. I faxed them to a secretarial service who typed them up and got them back to me within 1-2 hours by fax (it would be better by email so that you can make any updates for words they could'nt read etc). We then photocopied the typed notes at the hotel for all the particapnts to take away. I had to tee this up before hand with the secretarial people so that they were ready, but it was great and the partciapnts were very please at seeing the notes turned around so quickly. This was a smallish group (25) and only a day and a half. The cost was remarkably affordable. For large groups and longer time the energy of people sitting together and tapping away at the computers is magically if when you see it happen.
