Imagine one platform where you can make notes, drawings, lists and post links, neatly organised in workbooks and share this with friends, family or colleagues. Sounds rather nifty, doesn’t it?
Microsoft OneNote is software for “free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration”. (Wikipedia)
It provides a digital, shareable notebook where users can perform various actions, even post screen clippings and audio and video recordings. The software saves large amounts of information in pages, organised into sections within notebooks and has the appearance of a ring-binder in which you can save anything you write or material from other applications or websites.
This information is also searchable, can be stored in the cloud in Onedrive and is, therefore, accessible on other devices.
But what’s the difference between OneNote and a word processing programme like Word? With OneNote you can write or post anywhere on the document space by just clicking. Also, you don’t have to remember to regularly save files. OneNote saves as you work.
OneNote is available as a part of Microsoft Office and Windows 10. It is also available as a free, standalone application for Windows OS X, Windows RT, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android. A web-based version of OneNote is provided as part of OneDrive or Office Online and enables users to edit notes via a web browser.
The good news for university staff is that you don’t have to buy or install the software. It’s most likely already on your work PC. Click on the Windows button in the far left corner of your screen and type “OneNote” into the search bar.
If you would also like to use OneNote on your phone, you can download it on Google Play. You will then be able to access your notebooks from anywhere if you sync them to OneDrive.

Verbeel jou daar is een platform waar jy notas, tekeninge en lysies kan maak of skakels plaas – netjies versamel in notaboeke met toegang vir vriende, kollegas of familie. Klink heel handig, né?
Microsoft OneNote is sagteware wat ontwerp is om informeel informasie te versamel en ook verskeie persone in staat stel om saam te werk aan een projek.
Die sagteware kan groot hoeveelhede informasie organiseer op bladsye en seksies binne-in notebooks en lyk soos ʼn ring-leêr waarin jy enigiets kan bêre. Jy kan maar sê dis ʼn digitale notaboek waar jy dit wat jy saamgestel of gekry het op ander toepassings, selfs skermskote en klank- en videogrepe, kan oplaai.
Al hierdie inligting is soekbaar, kan gestoor word in die wolk in OneDrive en is daarom ook beskikbaar op jou ander toestelle.
Maar wat is die verskil tussen OneNote en ʼn woordverwerkingsprogram soos Word? Met OneNote kan jy enige plek op die dokument-ruimte skryf of iets plaas deur daarop te kliek. Jy hoef ook nie te onthou om gereeld te stoor nie. OneNote stoor data soos jy werk.
OneNote is beskikbaar as deel van Microsoft Office en Windows 10. Dis ook beskikbaar as ʼn gratis, losstaande toepassing vir Windows OS X, Windows RT, Windows Phone, iOS en Android. ʼn Webgebaseerde weergawe van OneNote word ook verskaf as deel van OneDrive of Office Online en stel gebruikers in staat om notas aan te pas deur middel van hul webblaaier.
Die goeie nuus vir US-personeel is dat jy nie die sagteware hoef te koop of installeer nie. Dis waarskynlik reeds op jou werkrekenaar. Kliek op die Windows knoppie heel links in die hoek van jou skerm en tik “OneNote” in die soekveld.
Indien jy OneNote op jou foon wil gebruik, kan jy dit aflaai op Google Play. Jy sal sodoende, van enige plek, toegang tot jou notaboeke hê as jy dit sinchroniseer na OneDrive.
