Personal notes and links for a course

Every course dashboard gives you a private corner: a free-text Notes field that saves as you type, and a Links list for the URLs you want to keep close. Both are visible only to you — they're your scratchpad for a class, not a shared resource.

note

Your notes and personal links are private to you. To share a resource with classmates instead, see Share a lecture note.

Below your personal list, a Group Links section shows links your groups have curated for this course. Those are read-only here.

Open the Resources tab and tap the course.

Scroll to the Notes field at the bottom of the screen and type. It saves automatically.

  ]
}

To manage links, tap the Links panel, tap add, then enter the URL.
Your personal links stay private; the Group Links section shows what your groups shared.

tip

Personal Links are just for you. Group Links are curated by your groups and appear here automatically whenever a link is tagged to this course — see Group links.
