    John Cristy Joseph G. Tront Virginia Tech
  2. Goals To implement an e-Textbook Reader with as much capability as possible for any content using existing software and hardware To help bridge textbook and lecture content through note taking
  3. Previous Work Xlibris from FX Palo Alto Laboratory 1998 Windows 95 12.1” Screen Freeform Note-taking Actively searched based on annotations
  4. Previous Work Kno Tablet 2 14.1” touch screens SDK for applications Cancelled in April 2011 Others (CourseSmart, Kno, etc.) Some Multimedia Similar to PDFs DRM Issues Require constant Internet Connection, Web-based
  5. Kindle DX Case Study Successes Problems Missing PDF capabilities Content Acquisition Poor Multimedia Slow Page Turning Page Navigation Difficulty of taking notes Legibility of Screen Form Factor Durability Distribution System
  6. Apple’s iPad Textbook 3D Images Multi-Touch Gestures Searching for Content Interactive Quizzes Auto-Generated study cards iTunes U Authoring tools
  7. Note Taking A higher quantity of notes correlates with higher achievement (Kiewra 1988) Small Screens and poor interfaces reduce the number of notes taken by students (Kim 2009)
  8. Active Reading Requires Critical Thinking Taking notes and annotations “Conversation with the author” (Adler) Find related materials
  9. Ideas from WIPTE 2010 Electronic notes; stylus enabled Multimedia Search on e-ink Individualized Tutoring Collaboration Bookmarks Voice Recognition
  10. Development Process
  11. Why OneNote? Book like page organization Flexible Note taking Platform Ubiquity Collaboration Developer API
  12. OneNote in Practice Collaboration @ Pfizer Research Teams share OneNote Notebooks Norway K12 (Michaelsen) Useful Daily Prefer finding images rather than drawing “You use it to remember, really” -Unknown Norwegian Student
  13. Features Linked Split Screen Window Focus Change on Hover Gestures for navigation and bookmarking Bookmarked pages for quick returning Navigation Buttons to save screen real estate
  14. Features Search to Web Notes Page Bluetooth Scanner Simple Quiz System Importer for Students, Instructors, and Publisher
  15. Side-by-Side Pages Horizontally or Vertically Tiled Synchronized or independent
  16. Focus Change Multi-Window tap first then write problem Mouse/Stylus Hover Change focus before user tries to write

  21. Bluetooth Scanner Use Android Phone to scan documents into notes
  22. Built-in Quizzing While hyperlinks can lead to more complex systems, the add-in includes a simple system meant for review
  23. File Importer Import files from PDF and RTF Each page in the source file becomes one page in OneNote PDFs come in as images or in native form (text is text, etc.) RTF content remains in native form
  24. Other Considerations Notebook sharing can allow students to collaborate Microsoft’s Office Live allows for cloud storage allowing Books to be viewed with the OneNote Apps for Android and iOS With Interactive Classroom lecture notes can be inserted into the textbook File embedding for any multimedia needs
  25. Status Introductory survey results available soon Complete user testing in the near future
