Microsoft
OneNote - An exploration of the potential for teaching and learning: Two
STHM teachers' journey into leveraging Microsoft OneNote as an effective
presentation and note-sharing tool
As
long-time PowerPoint users Moira and Ian moved lecture notes to OneNote for one
semester and began to see how OneNote’s structure, plus flexibility supports
fluid, interactive presentations. There were other benefits. All class notes were easily shared through one synced link to OneNote through
Moodle. Students received lecture note updates which were easily viewed on
laptops, tablets and phones. The pilot shows the potential, plus some of the
detractors for OneNote users at Royal Roads. Students report their experiences
and answer if it helped to learn more effectively. Moira
and Ian share some of the ups and downs of Microsoft OneNote and why they plan
to continue to use it.
