App+7+OneNote

What is OneNote and what can it do for me?
OneNote is like a ring binder for organising your brain. You can send all sorts of resources to it, organise these and access them from any device whenever you need to. Send emails and photos from your phone to OneNote, clip a web article to OneNote, create a voice recording, collaborate, share, gather together resources and annotate these.

Here's an example of a notebook that I created about how to brew the perfect cup of tea.

Students get OneNote with their Office365 account, and staff can ask help desk to install it for them on their desktops or laptops. See below for instructions on installing it on your mobile device.

Can OneNote amplify or transform the learner experience?
Replacement and Amplification Students can use this app to enhance their learning experience by helping them organise their work. Their notes are kept in one place, instead of being dispersed across different applications. It also enables sharing between peers and with their lecturer.

Transformation This tool becomes really powerful when students use it to reflect on their learning experiences, which they can do as they occur, by making use of the OneNote app on their phone. There's no longer a delay between the learning experience and the reflective activity, enhancing the learning experience.
