Online note taking service has become more and more popular these days. Before, there were at least 2 online services that let students do all that online: MyNoteIT and Stu.Dicio.Us that we have reviewed. And now, there’s one more, developed by Hung Truong, a student of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, called NoteCentric.
NoteCentric is a social class note sharing website. The main focus of NoteCentric is to allow university students to have their notes wherever they go and be able to easily share their notes with classmates. Similar to Facebook, NoteCentric only accepts registrations from people with .edu email addresses. Once notes are entered in NoteCentric, users will have access to them wherever web access is available. In addition, classmates who have NoteCentric accounts will automatically have access to those notes (unless the notes are tagged as “private”). Students can add their courses and private, as well as shared, notes to their NoteCentric account.
The beauty of NoteCentric is that it is being developed by a real life student. I mean, who would know better how to develop a student note-taking application other than a student himself? It basically covers every basic features a student will need. However, compare to MyNoteIT and Stu.Dicio.Us, NoteCentric does feel a bit “outdated”. With Google Map and grades record features of MyNoteIT and Stu.Dicio.Us, respectively, NoteCentric has a lot of catching up to do. However, one important note, NoteCentric must not fall where others have fallen before: Just being another followers. NoteCentric must think of a unique feature that differentiates it from the rest. Otherwise, it won’t be able to compete in the water.
All and all, NoteCentric does have the basic features of a note taking service. Still in Beta phase, we believe NoteCentric still has a long way to go. If you are a student in need of a simple note taking service, you can register for your account HERE.
