Taking notes can make it difficult to stay engaged and follow along with a class presentation or discussion. With Engageli’s Notes feature, you can:
- Take screenshots of what is being shared via screen share, PDF file live share, or whiteboards
- Annotate the screenshots to reduce the cognitive load with note-taking.*
- Add recent captions to the Notes.
- Generate a summary of the last few minutes of discussion.
Note: No one can take screenshots of the Class Gallery or Table view, to protect learner privacy.
Engageli learners always have access to the Notes feature in the live session and in the Playback Room. Browser-based instructors can also take notes. The Notes are private, downloadable for future reference, and persist between live sessions and the Playback Room, so you will see them each time you log into an Engageli classroom or Playback Room to watch recordings.
