Notes

Notes let you record observations on a course or lecture with control over who can see them. Use them for private reminders, coordination with co-teachers, or messages to everyone in the course.

Visibility levels

Each note has one of three visibility settings:

  • Private — only you can see it.
  • Teachers — visible to the teachers of the course (for coordination).
  • Everyone — visible to students (and parents) as well.

Visibility is enforced on the server, so a private note is genuinely private.

Adding and removing notes

On a course or lecture page, open the Notes section to add a note, choose its visibility, and save. Creation and deletion are immediate. Remove a note when it's no longer needed.

When to use notes vs. other tools

  • Private notes — your own reminders ("revisit chapter 3 next week").
  • Teachers notes — hand-offs between co-teachers or substitute teachers.
  • Everyone notes — quick course-wide pointers. For formal resources use Materials; for whole-school messages, ask an admin to send an Announcement.
