Using smartpens and digital pens in interpreter training and interpreting research: taking stock and looking ahead

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

For over a decade, digital pen technology has been investigated, trialled and recommended for use in interpreter training and interpreting research, whether as a tool to develop metacognitive activities and provide feedback in the interpreting classroom, or as an instrument to test and explore various areas of interpreting research (e.g. note-taking processes, hybrid modes, cognitive load) in new ways. This chapter aims at reviewing and taking stock of the training and research initiatives undertaken on digital pens and smartpens, as well as at looking ahead and making suggestions about equipment and potential future initiatives that would benefit interpreting students, educators, and researchers.
