This is actually an area I'm working on. As @ziddoap mentioned, the main drawback to digital note-taking and learning is that it is not as natural to engage with your notes (drawing, making comments, etc). But there are other aspects of digital notes that make them superior to hand-written ones when it comes to learning. It's just that, imo, it hasn't been optimized for yet. Specifically, take spaced-repetition. One of the most proven ways to improve memory. It'd be easy to integrate such a system inside a note-taking app - and that would help ensure note-takers self-test themselves and periodically review their notes. But no note-taking app is doing that, at least not built-in. So that's why I've started working on this myself. The app is called Studbits (http://studbits.com http://studbits.com), and the idea is simple: we let you create flashcards alongside your notes and then remind you to review them with a spaced-repetition system.
