Our lessons are short and to the point, so you can learn what you need to know in the shortest time possible. All you need is Notability 14 (meaning you're subscribed to the app), your iPad, and an Apple Pencil.
This course was created using a 12-inch iPad Pro. Our team has spent hours studying note-taking apps, and after more than six years of studying and using Notability, we have finally put together everything we know about the app into this course. We are hoping that it will ease your digital transformation journey as you venture into digital note-taking.
In this course, we have focused on how to use Notability to get the most out of it. We do not cover digital note-taking techniques. That way, you can focus on a single goal: to master Notability 14 and create digital notes you're proud of.
