Notes

The Notes system allows you to create and manage notes directly within the platform. All notes are tied to their source course and accessible from a centralized dashboard, keeping your annotations organized alongside your learning content.

Adding Notes During a Lesson

Each lesson contains a Notes tab located below the main content area. 

To create a note:

  1. Open a lesson and select the Notes tab.

  1. Enter text in the input field and click Save.

  1. Saved notes appear chronologically below the input field for that lesson.

Video Notes with Timestamps

The Video Notes feature allows you to create notes linked to specific points in a video lesson. Each note automatically captures the video timestamp at the moment of creation, allowing you to return to the exact video position when reviewing notes later.

Creating a Timestamped Video Note

Timestamped notes can be created in both standard and full-screen viewing modes without interrupting playback.

Standard View

  1. Begin playing the video lesson
  2. Click the Take Note button located below the lesson tabs on the right side of the screen

Managing Notes from the Dashboard

Reviewing notes course by course is highly inefficient. You need a centralized library for all your educational insights. Click the Notes option on your primary dashboard sidebar to access your global repository. This interface gathers every single note you have ever taken across all your enrolled programs.

Finding a specific piece of information takes only seconds in this global hub. You can utilize several built-in tools to manage your records.

  • Quick Filters: Use the top navigation tabs to instantly filter your entries by standard text Notes or specialized Video Notes.
