Digital Notetaking Tools
Microsoft OneNote
Included in your Emory Microsoft 365 account, OneNote allows you to create digital notebooks and do the following:
Organize
Create and sort notes into sections and pages. Add, move, or resize content like an infinitely scrolling whiteboard to better organize your thoughts, ideas, and content.
Record Audio
Record lectures. Any notes you take will appear in sync with the audio recordings for later review.
Insert Media
Add screenshots, pictures, videos, PDFs, PowerPoint slides, checklists, and more to your notes.
Do Math
With the Equation and Math Assistant Tools, you can generate (and sometimes solve!) math equations directly in your notes.
