OneNote
Microsoft Office 365 Education is a free suite of hosted Microsoft services and applications that are intended for educational needs among Toronto Metropolitan University’s students, faculty, and staff. This is a subscription model and will never require upgrading and is always up to date.
OneNote is a tool that allows for students to record their ideas, take notes and collaborate with others effectively. As you make your way through your first semester and beyond, OneNote will aid you in staying organized and make working with your fellow engineering students a breeze in the virtual workspace! OneNote makes use of OneDrive, storing your contents to the cloud so you can access them from any time and anywhere using the OneNote app on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
