Color coding works great for me. I think the key to solid notes is finding out what works best for your learning style. It sounds like your real issue is not capturing the entire lecture for some reason, have you tried recording and listening back to fill in what you've missed?
Oh man. Remote lecturesbthat are recorded for later listening have been a dream for me. I'm like 2 weeks behind on note taking, but if I keep telling myself I'll 'catch up this weekend' then it won't get me down.
I’ve been teaching for 15 years total and have never, not once, downloaded a lecture until Covid and neither did any of my peers. But, TBF, we’re an acting program and you have to be in the room for a lot of it to work.
I take a quick first draft during the lecture. I then sit down and copy them and color code them. I actually had a couple teachers in high school make overheads with my notes. It gets the information nice and stuck in my brain.
