Other note-taking apps

Below are examples of note-taking apps for students to use at their discretion. Note that some apps are free, while subscriptions are fee-based.


OneNote is included in Microsoft Office 365. The 猎奇重口 provides Microsoft Office 365 to currently enrolled UM students. 


Compatible with Mac and iOS.

Peer note-takers

If technology does not provide effective solutions, ODE will provide peer note-taking support to qualified students. A note-taker is a student in the class who volunteers to share notes.

ODE will provide a stipend in UMoney to note-takers when qualified students notify us by the deadline.

  • Note-takers receive a $50 stipend.
  • If note-takers share notes with multiple qualified students, they receive a $100 stipend.

Deadline

  • Spring Semester 2025: Thursday, April 24, 2025, 11:59 PM

How to obtain a note-taker

There are three ways to obtain a note-taker.

  • You may ask a classmate to share notes with you. 

  • Instructors may have assigned student note-takers in their classes. Ask your instructor to connect you with the note-taker.

    If there is no identified assigned student note-taker in the class, ask your instructors for their assistance in finding a note-taker. Instructors can use the following announcement for a search:

    "A student is looking for a note-taker in this class. The note-taker will receive $50 in UMoney from ODE during finals week. Please see me after class for more information."

  • If a search is unsuccessful, contact your ODE consultant immediately. ODE will contact your instructor to explore additional options.

Using Accommodate to receive notes

Students and their note-takers can use the ODE online portal Accommodate to share notes. 

Process

  1. After securing a note-taker, the student should promptly email ODE at ode@umontana.edu. The email must include the student's name and UM ID, the note-taker's name and UM ID, and the course number (e.g., BIOB101). Additionally, the email should indicate that the student wishes to use the online portal to receive notes from the note-taker.

  2. ODE will notify both the student and the note-taker via email once Accommodate is ready for use. 

  3. The note-taker uploads their notes to Accommodate. 

  4. The student views and download the note-taker's notes through Accommodate. 

  5. During finals week, ODE will provide a stipend to the note-taker. 

If you didn't use Accommodate to receive notes, notify ODE by the deadline

When you used a peer note-taker during the semester but didn't use Accommodate to receive notes, you submit your note-taker information to ODE by the deadline so your note-taker can receive $50 in UMoney.

Email ODE at ode@umontana.edu with the following information: 

  • Your full name and your University ID

  • Your note-takers' names
 and their University IDs
  • The courses (e.g., BIOB 101)
 for which you had note-takers

The image below is an example of a notice with the note-takers' information

It reads Dear Disability Services, I used note-taking accommodations during the Fall 2021 semester. Below is my notetaker's information. John Doe 790100100 BIOB 101. Thank you, Mary Poppins. 790000000

Please note: 

  • When you meet the deadline, your note-taker will receive UMoney at the end of the term (during finals week). 
  • Your early notice to us is always appreciated. 
  • Your late notice after the deadline will result in your note-taker not being compensated.

Report to us if

Please report to us via email at ode@umontana.edu by the deadline if: 

  • a note-taker did not share notes with you and should not receive a stipend. 

  • you did not use a note-taker after you notified us.
