In the late '80s/early '90s (college), I took notes on paper and typed them up the evening of the class. The benefits I found:

* Better engagement in class vs typing in class * Better short and long term retention of learned material * Easier exam prep due to better retention * Higher grades vs not doing this * Able to share useful notes with others

In my business life, I've found similar benefits. The primary difficulty is forcing myself to follow the pattern. It's easy to think "I've got this" and not type up a set of notes.
