What is it?
Microsoft OneNote is a digital notebook and organiser which users can access from a desktop/mobile app or the browser.
What’s it for?
It’s a fantastic tool for note-making, capturing ideas and organising tasks and to-do lists all in one place, on any device. Students can draw, record audio notes, insert online video and attach files to pages. This would be an ideal app for students to manage their notes and resources for their modules and an area to record their reflections and learning journey.
Students can also choose to share the Notebooks with others and collaborate with their peers.
OneNote also includes tools for accessibility and support students with different abilities. The Immersive Reader in OneNote Learning Tools is a screen reader experience to increase readability content in OneNote document. The tool is designed to support students with dyslexia and dysgraphia in the classroom, but can support anyone who wants to make reading on their device easier.
Is there an app for it?
Yes, you can access OneNote using the desktop / mobile app or the browser.
How long does it take to set up?
