OneNote in MBChB

OneNote icon

Microsoft OneNote is part of the University’s suite of Microsoft applications available in Office 365. OneNote is freely available for all of your desktop and Mobile devices from OneNote.com or from the Microsoft  Office portal (portal.office.com)

With OneNote, you can type, hand write, draw, and clip things from the web to get down your thoughts into your electronic notebook. Use OneNote’s flexible canvas to place content anywhere you want. You can even scan hand written notes or pages straight into OneNote, then make them searchable.

This page will continue to be developed by the Faculty of Health Sciences to provide useful resources for OneNote with FAQs, links to face to face training sessions, links to external OneNote information and downloadable training guides and information.
