Adding Notes to Learn Mode

Instructors can manually add notes and text to Learn Screen Notes by using the text editor at the bottom of the page. You can add your own text and format it, add images and links, and embed videos into the text editor using iFrame.

After all notes has been added, press Save Changes at the top of the page.
