with ISNs.
The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between ISN usage and
abilities. The study also found that ISNs helped students organize their
regular updates to the ISNs and a tendency for some students to focus
more on the notebook format than the content itself. Despite these
obstacles, the study underscores the significant role that ISNs can play in
The research concludes that ISNs are valuable educational tools that
