A system for recording and retrieving note taking on a notebook form is provided. The system has a printer for printing information relating to note taking and a plurality of coded tags substantially simultaneously on a surface to generate the form, and a processor for receiving interaction data generated by a sensing device through sensing interaction with the tags printed on the form during the note taking. Each coded tag encodes data on an identity of the form and a location of that tag on the form. The interaction data is generated to include data on the form identity and at least one of a position and a movement of the sensing device relative to the sensed tags. The processor records or retrieves the note taking by identifying, from the interaction data, at least one parameter relating to the note taking.
