Here at WinBeta, we’ve been chronicling the evolution of Class Notebooks for OneNote. From Class Notebook availability through theOffice 365 App Launcherto theautomation of notebook and roster creationswith new API’s, OneNote’s Class Notebook has been a growing dependency on more than 400,000 teachers and 3.5 million students worldwide.
Now, OneNote’s Swiss army knife-like utility for education is being expanded up with the introduction of a Class Notebook add-in that was designed by and built with actual teacher input. The OneNote team is set to introduce thecustomer preview of the Class Notebook add-in, which brings a set of most-requested features that the OneNote team received from both teachers using feedback sources and those the team met during virtual collaboration sessions.
Class Notebook add-in for OneNote features include:
Of the features highlighted, the OneNote team is reporting an overwhelming excitement to the addition of distribution models as well as student work review by teachers worldwide.
With the new Class Notebook add-in, teachers can now “now can distribute a page to specific students rather than everyone in the class. Additionally, educators can define their own groups of students to differentiate the distribution.” As for checking a student’s work, teachers can now do rapid sequential reviewing of student work, with a new side panel making it easier to navigate information.
I LOVE ‘Review Student Work’ because it allows me to see specific assignments instead of going into each student’s tab, then that assignment, backing out and repeating again. It’s MUCH more efficient.”

Prophet also used today’s announcement to hint towards another announcement soon, saying, “we expect to share more in April, so stay tuned!”
