Who can see notes
Although you can see at what junctures of a course other learners have created notes, only you can view the text for the notes you created. Instructors and other learners in the course cannot see who created notes or what the notes include.
How to add a note to a lecture
If you wish to take a note within a specific point of a lecture, please follow the steps below:
1. When you come to a point in the lecture you would like to add a note, click the notes icon beside the Curriculum tab.
2. Your note can include up to 1,000 characters. If you wish to create a note without adding text, click enter, then click Save note.
3. Your note will be saved with the timestamp where you created it.
- Note: The text within your note will not be visible to other students.
How to access your notes
You can access notes by selecting the Notes tab in your course player. In this tab you can filter your notes by lecture or timestamp. All notes for your course can be found within that tab. To go directly to a moment you’ve added a note to within a course, click on the timestamp on the note, and you'll be directed to that point in the lecture player.
How to edit or delete notes
If you wish to edit the text you’ve entered for a note, please follow the steps below:
- Navigate to the note that you wish to change from the Notes tab in your course taking experience.
- In the bottom right hand corner of your note, click the pencil icon.
- Type the change that you wish to make and click Save note.
If you need to delete a note, select the trashcan icon located on the bottom right hand corner of your note.
