The OneNote App, developed by Microsoft, is an application that allows you to gather many types of documents, take notes on these documents and share in a multi-user collaboration format. It gathers users' notes (handwritten or typed), drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries. Notes can be shared with other OneNote users over the Internet or a network. As a member of the University of Wisconsin, you have access to the full version at no cost to you.
