Currently you have only four choices: French Verbs, Art History: Impressionism, the Periodic Table, and the Declaration of Independence. When you tap on this button from the main screen, you are given the option to purchase note sessions that were created for CourseNotes. CourseNotes recently added premium content.
#COURSENOTES PLUS#
Simply tap the plus button and the pop up dialog gives you the option to look up a term in Wikipedia. If you need to look something up in order to fill in your lexicon, CourseNotes allows you to access Wikipedia from within the lexicon. You can add terms and definitions related to a subject in your lexicon and have access to them from any screen (just tap the book icon at the top). One of the unique features of CourseNotes is the Subject Lexicon.
#COURSENOTES BLUETOOTH#
If your fellow student also owns the app, you can also share your notes directly via Bluetooth or WiFi. You can share your notes via Facebook and email. CourseNotes clearly has students in mind with its sharing features. You can also move notes to other subjects using the snaky arrow icon at the top of the screen. You can do the same for Todos and Sketches. Your notes can be filtered by type, so if you want to see all your text notes, simply tap “Notes” at the top of the list (either on the lefthand side of your screen in landscape or in the pop up screen in portrait).
Simply paste material onto your clipboard and choose “Note from Clipboard” from the note options. On the righthand side of the sketching canvas is space to append text notes to your sketch.ĬourseNotes is also capable of creating a note from whatever is on your clipboard. You can also import photos or, presumably, powerpoint slides you’ve downloaded as pictures. Obviously the sketching aspect of the program is meant for quick sketches, not full-fledged works of art. You can change the brush size, color, saturation, and brightness, but that is about all. The sketch note screen allows you to draw diagrams and other pictures using a rudimentary drawing palette. As with text notes, you can assign tasks colors. The “title” is your task name, and then you can assign a due date to it and append a lengthier note as well, if you wish. Todo notes are for keeping track of your assignments and other tasks. You can type a title for your note and assign it a color by tapping the circle button next to the word “save” on your tablet.
Unfortunately, you can’t create enumerated lists or outlines, just bullets. There’s not much in the way of formatting, though you can use the bullet button to create a list. Simply tap on the notebook page and begin typing. If, however, you choose “New Note Session” from the subject screen you will have a much larger space to type (in landscape the lefthand side will be taken up by the list of note sessions, but in portrait, the entire screen is your typing surface). Note that if you create new notes using the icon, you will be typing on a pop up screen that is smaller than the width of your iPad. To access these options, touch the pencil and paper icon in the upper right corner. For each session you can create four different kinds of notes: text notes, todos, sketches, and notes from your clipboard. The Subject main screen allows you to create new notes, view your last note session within the subject, view your subject lexicon, copy a session from another device or view your to do items. “Add New Subject” opens a dialog where you can title the subject, assign an icon to it, list the name of the instructor and the course’s website if available. The name of the last session is listed along with the date and time it was accessed. The “View Last Note Session” button offers you the option of opening your most recent session without having to search through all your subjects. You can always file it under one of your subjects later. The first input button allows you to create a “Quick Session” which is a note you can write without having to create a subject first. You can open the CourseNotes Help subject and read the note sessions there to get introduced to the app. When you open CourseNotes, the main page displays several input/export buttons and a list of subjects. Designed specifically for students, CourseNotes has some unique elements that make it especially useful for those in school. CourseNotes for iPad ($4.99) is a note taking app from Dear Panda LLC.
