What is Class Notebook?

OneNote Class Notebook allows teachers to create a digital notebook for each class, group, term, or project. Teachers can create, manage, and distribute instructional content to entire classes or individual students. The flexible, yet structured format works similarly to traditional notebooks while allowing teachers to provide instant, real-time feedback to their students.

Class Notebook is a free add-in for OneNote 2016 and 2013 and is built into OneNote for Windows 10, OneNote Online, and OneNote for Mac. It includes a personal workspace for each student, a Content Library for shared information, and a Collaboration Space where student groups can work together. You must have an Office 365 for Education account to use Class Notebook.

Curious how it works in schools?
