Microsoft OneNote



What is OneNote?

Microsoft OneNote is designed to function as an electronic version of a paper notebook.

What is the purpose of OneNote?

OneNote is a note-taking and personal information management (PIM) application for collecting, organizing and sharing digital information. By storing text notes, photos, audio and video snippets, handwriting and similar content, Microsoft OneNote collects and organizes the information, making it available for searching as well as sharing with others.

You can think of OneNote as a multiple-subject notebook.  Notes from classes can be stored and organized into sections.
