My Summer 2006 Experiment

Summer is here and it is a brand new semester of classes for me. This semester I am taking CS 4001, Differential Equations, Circuits, and French (I hope). In addition, I am a teacher’s assistant for Digital Design Lab, Helping DramaTech by taking a Theater Production class, and taking a Guitar class for fun. All that in the summer? I know, I must be crazy.

This semester, I have decided to try other note taking programs and collaboration tools. I have tried GoBinder before but I have never really used it. I have decided to take notes in both GoBinder and OneNote (2003 and 2007) and figure out which one works best for me and why. After that, I will report my results.

My CS 4001 class is an ethics class and requires us to use a wiki for everything (homework, readings, assignments, postings, etc).

So, at the end of the semester, I will report on my experiences with Wikis, OneNote, and GoBinder.  Wish me luck! :)

    Sid, where can I find the results of your "experiment?" :)

    I haven't heard about Ecco. Can you elaborate on it? From my experiment, I found out what I suspected. Most of these note-taking programs target specific aspected of note-taking (i.e Mind Manager for meeting notes, etc). Another thing I found was that personal taste and preferences is very important. I am typing up the post about the experiment and should have it posted in about a week.
  • I'll be looking forward to reading your results of your experiment.

    I've used OneNote 2003, EverNote, MindManager and older tools (remember Ecco???) and haven't found one I like for all note-taking situations. I'm leaning back towards OneNote at this point, though I think MindManager is best when you're taking meeting notes that are displayed via projector.

    Good luck with your courses,
