Class Notebook, a key feature of OneNote, is a powerful tool for enhancing distance learning and online education. Each Class Notebook includes a Content Library for educators to share course materials, a Collaboration Space for interactive online learning activities, and a private notebook for each student. Once a Class Notebook is created, both educators and students can access it from any device using the OneNote app, making it an ideal solution for remote learning.
