Take Notes

The Notes tool is a simple place to make quick notes and write short documents. Notes is available from the Portal and from any course or group site. Course and group notes are automatically stored in their own file. All notes can be accessed using the Portal Take Notes interface.

  1. Select Take Notes from the left-hand-side menu. A text window will open in the main window. It will contain a table of contents that lists all of your Notes storage files, sorted into tabs.
