Digital note taking tools – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C accurately describe key affordances of digital note-taking tools, while D is false. Many applications sync across devices, accept stylus-based handwriting and support tags and search to manage large volumes of notes. Collaboration and sharing features are increasingly common, so it is incorrect to say that such tools necessarily block collaboration. Therefore, the only fully correct set of statements is A, B and C.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it brings together the main learning-related strengths of digital note-taking without including the restrictive and incorrect claim in D. It highlights portability, input flexibility and retrieval efficiency, which are all valuable for students.

Option B:
Option B is incomplete because it includes only A and B and omits C. Without mentioning tags and search, the description underestimates how these tools support efficient retrieval and organisation of information.

Option C:
Option C is incomplete because it lists only B and C and leaves out A. Statement A about cross-device storage and organisation is fundamental to the appeal of such tools in ubiquitous learning contexts.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats all four statements as correct and thereby accepts D. Since many note-taking tools explicitly offer sharing and collaborative editing, claiming that collaboration is impossible is wrong.
