  • m a constructivist point of view, all learning implies the transformation of information into knowledge, and this goes for teaching, too, in the modern – i.e. constructivist – sense of the word: Creating an adequate environment for learning.
  • OneNote is a very strong learning tool that may be completely personalized in accordance with to the users’ needs, not least their learning styles needs.

  • The smooth interaction with other Microsoft Office applications (first of all, Outlook and Explorer) makes it easy to switch between tasks; furthermore, the program as such with its notebooks, sections, subsections, and many features gives the multitaskers fantastic opportunities to meet their individual needs.
  • OneNote supports the learners’ preferences whether they want to work alone, in pairs, in a peer groups, or teams, and whether or not they need to consult a person of authority while working and, finally, whether or not they prefer variation between these options,.
