Choose OneNote when
You need a long-lived, searchable course notebook, shared content libraries, collaboration or access across devices. It is a much broader information-organizing tool.
Choose InfinitiCanvas when
The live explanation is the main event and you want the screen to feel like a large, focused board rather than a notebook interface.
