OneNote

Principal function(s): File sharing/syncingNote taking

OneNote is a digital note-taking tool developed by Microsoft, designed to help users capture, organise, and share information across various devices. It operates as a digital notebook, allowing users to create multiple notebooks, sections, and pages for sorting their notes, drawings, and multimedia content. It also allows users to collaborate on specific files with others in real-time. While OneNote is available for free as part of the Microsoft Office suite. Signing up for a Microsoft account is necessary to access and synchronise notes across devices and to collaborate with others in real time. Evaluation: OneNote is a valuable tool for teachers, students, and users in general to create, organise, and share notes and different files. It can facilitate collaborative note-taking, project management, brainstorming and research. While it does not focus on language specifically, it can help to improve various linguistic skills, including writing and reading. It is somewhat similar to Evernote. Average IT skills required.

Cost: Free as part of the Microsoft Office package
