From Brian Hartgen ...
We’re very pleased to revisit this training course as sufficient
interest has been received.
Introduction.
Microsoft OneNote is your digital notepad & note taking app. Everyone
needs to write down information. It could be a shopping list, thoughts
you might want to present at an important meeting, or maybe lecture
notes. But how do you get to your notetaking program quickly to write
down those spontaneous ideas you've had? Where do you save them? How can
you share them with other people? And, most importantly, how do you find
them again?
Microsoft OneNote can help you with all of this, but it can do much more.
OneNote is ideal for storing unstructured information — not just the
notes you take in lectures or meetings, (or digital versions of Post It
notes), but also photos, videos, web pages, PDFs, presentations, the
frequency for your favourite radio stations in cities to which you
travel. In short, anything you might need to refer to one day.
You don't need to get the perfect structure straight away. Instead, the
first step of making OneNote useful is to put as much information that
you might need later as possible in there, so that you can search for it.
Until quite recently, using Microsoft OneNote has not been particularly
accessible to users of screen-readers. While one or two attempts have
taken place in the hope of making it so, it has never really caught on
as an application you would really want to use to make your life easier.
Thanks to Microsoft's enhanced level of accessibility within OneNote,
and JAWS scripts from Hartgen Consultancy, we hope that is about to
change. Indeed we're so confident in how good it is, we want to show you
how to use it.
The latest in our series of training courses, OneNote Wonder, will help
you to get started with what is a powerful application. As happened with
our training course on the use of PowerPoint, you will learn about the
terminology used within the application, accessing the program in an
accessible way and how you can verify that your actions have been
carried out successfully. Moreover in addition to making the application
even more accessible, the JAWS scripts provide considerable additional
spoken and Braille-based feedback in many areas to ensure OneNote is a
pleasure to use.
What Will I Learn?
The training course is divided into two lessons, each of which will last
at least 90 minutes. The topics will include:

Course Requirements.
In order to take part in this training course, you will need to have
access to the Microsoft OneNote Windows10 app. If you have Windows10,
then you should have OneNote already installed. This is not to be
confused with OneNote 2016 which is part of the Office suite. The
OneNote for Windows10 app contains accessibility improvements and is
being developed from this point forward.
You will also need JAWS for Windows version 2019 or 2020 in order for
the scripts to function.
What Will I Receive and How Much Does it Cost?
The training course is priced £50 which is approximately $62, and will
give to you:
* The JAWS scripts for the Microsoft OneNote Windows10 app together
with updates as and when they occur.
* two lessons on Wednesday 22 and 29 January 2020, at 7 PM UK time (2
PM US Eastern), each of 90 minutes duration. The training sessions
are hosted using our Zoom conferencing facility. An app is available
for Windows, I O S, or you can participate by telephone using a
local number to several countries. Full instructions for accessing
the conference, and the telephone numbers, will be provided to you.
* A recording of each of the two lessons in MP3 audio format which you
can download whenever you want. The links to the files will not expire.
* Access to an email list for discussion of OneNote between training
sessions.
* Plenty of opportunities to ask questions in between the various
topics being discussed. This is the most important part of enrolling
in the training course now, rather than purchasing an archive of it
at a later date. You will not get the opportunity of asking
questions directly if you purchase an archive of the training course.
If you would like to join our training course, payments should be made
by 14 January 2020. You can purchase OneNote Wonder here.
