Can I take my own notes while I learn?

The short answer

Yes. Each module has a Notes tab, a notepad beside the lesson where you can type, format and draw. Your notes are saved to your account.

Taking notes

A module

  1. Click Notes
  2. Click New note

Saved to your account

Yes. Open any module of a free course and choose Notes. It is a notepad for you, beside the video.

  • Type your notes and format them (bold, italic, headings, lists, highlights).
  • Switch between Write and Draw to sketch a rung or a circuit.
  • Choose New note for another note, or delete one you no longer need.
  • Pinned notes stay at the top of your list.

Your notes are saved to your account, so they follow you to any device where you sign in.
