First Time Using Class Notebook + No Teams
I'm a professor in a graduate health professions program and I absolutely despise Moodle, the LMS my university requires us to use (at least for grades). I'm strongly considering using OneNote Class Notebook now that we have the option. However, we cannot have a Teams class.
I'm considering trying the Class Notebook because:
- Simpler organization
- Ability to use the collaboration space instead of a random Google Doc I share with the class or taking a picture of the whiteboard
- I can easily convert lab handouts to work in OneNote and students have the option to type or use a digital pen (also, less paper)
- Easier to review student work and the several options to provide feedback
- Tracking student activity on their assignments
- I can still control what the students can and can't see
- Everything is all in one place and streamlined
I'm okay with manually entering grades in Moodle because that's what I do most of the time anyway.
I admit I have the tendency to want to try new things in hopes of making things easier for myself, and it backfiring, so I'm looking for words of advice and hearing others' experience using Class Notebook without Teams before I spend the time and effort to set it up.
