Comments on OneNote in 2023
“My work notes, collect topics, remember things, summarize ideas, bringing ideas together” Digital Learning Lead, Germany, 2023
“although I have tried and tested more “fancy” (Notion style) note taking tools, for me OneNote is still the best note-taking application. The web version is powerful, there are clients for most common platforms, including Mac OS.” Jan Van Belle, Belgium, 2023
Previous comments on OneNote
“Easy to use, part of our corporate tools and systems. I used it to create my learning log, to maintain my collection of resources with annotations. I can adapt the structure of the pages and subpages as ideas and concepts are developping. Use it as a central parking lot for ideas and learning topics to come back to at a later stage.” Learning Consultant, Germany
“simple note taking, even on mobile device, always accessible through OneDrive” Director, Knowledge Management, Germany
“OneNote serves as my Second Brain (Personal Knowledge Management System).” Gerald Peterson, Germany
“A magic tool to keep record of your insights and learnings.” Patrick Brauweiler, Trainer and Consultant in Learning and Development, Germany
Previous comments on OneNote
“Students get all the exam preparation material in one place.” Ana-Marika Korent, History teacher, Croatia, 2021
“Use it to organize my favorite resources, notes from meetings, research notes, etc.” Training Director, USA, 2021
“documentation, collaboration, creating learning circles” Magnus Rode, Manager In-House Applications, Germany, 2021
OneNote and Evernote: “I use these both equally because I work between Windows and Mac (for work 9-5 where as a Microsoft consultant I need to be using these) and OneNote Pro (for my outside life because I use Apple products on my iMac.) To be fair OneNote 2019 is a far superior product to Evernote so there will come a time to bite the bullet and go over to Windows and Microsoft on my Macs too. For the purposes of this survey, just say OneNote 2019 (not the generic OneNote that comes with O365 subscriptions because this is the lite version of the Enterprise OneNote 2019 which is a learning system unto itself).” Helen Blunden, Community Manager, Australia, 2020
“At work, I have created a shared Notebook with my team where we keep all of our relevant meeting notes and the like. Everyone can make changes/revisions to the Note pages and you can see who made what note. At home, I use it for all of my note taking. I like being able to create separate notebooks or separate sections in a single notebook by topic. I can export to Word , integrate in an email in Outlook etc with very little effort.” Susan Manos, Global Learning & Development Director, USA, 2020
“Using to organize what I am learning and/or need to learn.” Alexildo Vaz, Knowledge Management Analyst, Brazil, 2020
“Use at home and work for note taking, reference links , reminders. Good search feature” Business Systems Analyst, UK, 2020
“For sharing meeting notes and allows collaboration inside the notes. Teams does this but our company has limited our Teams capabilities.” Ramon Castillo, Instructional Designer, USA, 2020
