Course Description
Overview: 
This course is intended to enable the typical student, educator, or business user of a desktop version of Microsoft® Office (2007 or later) to productively use the key components of the Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2013 application on a desktop, laptop, or Microsoft® Windows® 8 tablet device, when working in or away from the primary office or study environment. 
OneNote has many features that can improve time management skills, including task lists and scheduling with Microsoft® Outlook®.

This course can also be used to prepare for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification exam.
