I don't mean this to be rude, but how will these folks without Outlook get an email sent to them?

If they can get an email, and you're thinking of using a "mailto" method of generating an email with all their content specified in the "body" you could run into character limits if they try to send too many notes.

Aside from that, you'd need some dynamic web email app to send it to.

 

I've created a note-taking activity in the past. Notes taken throughout the course get compiled as a JavaScript generated HTML page that can then be sent to printer. 

Will there be a printer nearby they could send an auto-generated HTML page to print?

    They access it through the employee portal in our website. About 10 percent of the people taking this will be in supervision and have Outlook. Otherwise, it's manufacturing employees.

    There are some printers on the floor, definitely. They occasionally need to print documents to go with products they are building.
