Problem: One of the most challenging and frustrating parts of taking notes on a computer is trying to integrate diagrams or drawings from class into notes in a text editor.

If the user is adding new information to the notes, they must have all of the information they are adding at hand. They must also be able to physically insert the information: simple with digital documents, but this might require inserting pages or crossing out text for paper notes.
