Microsoft OneNote and HP Tablet PC Grants
Microsoft OneNote is a part of the Microsoft Office system which has, among other features, the ability to manage handwritten, digital notes written directly into Microsoft Office programs through a Tablet PC.
Tablet PCs are especially adept in a mobile environment. They are easily portable, much in the same way a paper-and-pen notebook is. Using the stylus and an application called "digital ink", tablet PC's allow the user to store handwritten notes, graphs, charts, and pictures by recording handwriting and drawings. Handwriting can be converted to text and is searchable.
Microsoft and HP donated six HP tc1100 Tablet PCs with Microsoft OneNote to the Digital Union as part of a research initiative which sought to demonstrate the use of Tablet PC technology to enhance research and teaching activities.
The Digital Union invites faculty to submit proposals for research-based use of the six Tablet PCs in order to identify a research environment and to develop research questions around the use of Tablet PCs in the classroom or academic research environment.

In 2007 Professors Maria Palazzi and Norah Zuniga-Shaw used the TabletPCs for an ACCAD/Dance Department project to experiment with the "video drawing software" Rotosketch to annotate the video of the dynamic eighteen-minute dance piece by William Forsythe titled One Flat Thing, Reproduced.
