"Are there alternatives to OneNote?
By Christopher Dawson | May 18, 2010, 6:20am PDT
After I destroyed what credibility I had left with the Open Source community last week, gushing over Office 2010 and, in particular, OneNote, a Mac user emailed me and asked if I knew of any cross-platform tools that were similar to OneNote. I figured it was worth taking a step back from my love of OneNote and poking around to see what I could find.
As it turns out, there are a lot of applications that work well across browsers or in the cloud for taking notes. Although none, in my opinion, work as well or as intuitively as OneNote, all of the applications listed below are either free and/or open source and will do the trick in many settings. In fact, if you’re looking for a note-taking App, they’re all worth a look. Just because OneNote works best with my little brain, others may find software devoted to mind-mapping or that follows more of a wiki format works better for their particular brains."
"Edistorm takes the metaphor of sticky notes on a boardroom wall and brings it online allowing anyone - anywhere to brainstorm with only a web browser.

About Debategraph Item #61934
Learn more about Debategraph: What is it? and Who are we?
Debategraph provides a powerful way for geographically distributed groups to collaborate in real-time in thinking through complex issues.
It does so by enabling groups of any size to externalise, visualize, question, and evaluate all of the considerations that anyone thinks might be relevant to the issues at hand – and by facilitating an intelligent, constructive dialogue around those issues.
Whether the group is a small team, an organization, a network of organizations, or society as a whole, the ability to augment our individual capacity to choose wisely in the face of the complex, multi-dimensional problems we confront today is ever more pressing.
The basic building blocks of the maps
In essence, building the maps involves three steps:
1. breaking down the subject into meaningful ideas;
2. figuring out the relationships between those ideas; and,
3. expressing the ideas and relationships visually.

The definitive site for free visual tools and devices also includes support tools. Compiled by Karl Gude of Michigan State University's School of Journalism from various sources on the internet. All were given strong recommendations and some may appear under more than one category. This is a work-in-progress and each category of tool will eventually be organized by operating system and whether it requires downloading on your computer or phone or used directly on the web.
