That's why I left my career at Microsoft to create a new type of learning experience where the focus is on the value - not the features. I'm passionate about technology and storytelling, and I thrive to share my experiences of how technology can effectively be used to work smarter - in a more engaging way. I'm the founder of two companies - Business Productivity and Storyals, the mother of three, Swedish and live in Dubai.

Way to basic. Was hoping for deeper knowledge of the actual writing functions - sync with desktop to iPad or surface - more detailed speech to text - more on using a tablet to record audio meetings. The content was there but many times it is mentioned instead of going into detail and practical applications. The instructor is passionate and for beginners this might be ok - but I personally needed way more depth.

This course is only for people who are already adept paper note takers, to help them transition to using onenote for their note taking. It was not very instructive for someone wanting to learn how to begin taking effective notes. The "note taking best practices" video was helpful, but only 2 minutes long and was only about taking meeting minutes. I was expecting more instruction on the fundamentals of effective note taking and less focus on the particular features of the onenote ipad app and desktop version.

course was very good. I did learn a few new items to use when taking notes. My only complaint is the formatting on the quiz. Sentences were one word per line and hard to read. I was using internet explorer 11 to view course.

I liked the course because it was a "hands on course". With tips and workflows that I can use i my work right on. Ulrika was a very good instructor. Calm and straight forward.

This course is very good. It provides a no-nonsense approach to focusing on what is important, which can lead to increased productivity. What I appreciated the most were the practical step-by-step examples or real-life usage, which are often lacking from many online courses.
By Ivan Prats Martinho on 2/18/2018
Really interesting and useful info for the money. She doesn't get too much into details on the OneNote app itself, but she does present useful real-life examples at the end which are (in my opinion) the best part of the course.
By Nick Fields on 1/26/2018
In general, the focus of the content was too much towards the equipment. I would have preferred more attention on note taking tips and OneNote functionality. However, the story at the end was excellent but perhaps a tad rushed. I did pick up some new information, so this was certainly worth my time.
By Frank Meszaros on 1/20/2018
Great real life example as well as good but not too deep details of the tool usage on various devices and different versions available. I also liked that the course was to the point and highlighted the most useful elements of note taking.
By Lee Zaretsky on 1/20/2018
A great high-level overview of writing and accessing information with the OneNote app. Easy to use, and complete in covering both setting up access and actual writing. Would love to see more details on other devices, as well as sharing of data between people.

Course was well planned and well executed. I like real world applications and the way all material was presented to show how to both use the pen and also use the One Note application. Ulrika is easy to understand and is enthusiastic in her presentation. She moves quickly which I think is good for getting through the material. I would like to see her pause just a bit when she is showing screen shots of moves through the application. I paused as I watched many times so I easily got past this, but just another second on the screen shot would have helped. Overall excellent, I learned much more than I expected.
