Highlighting text allows you to take an active role as a learner. Please note, If you have notes in V6 the color correspondence is now red to orange and blue to purple. Here is how to do it in the eReader:
If you are on a computer, click and drag your cursor to select the text you wish to highlight. If you are using a phone or tablet, press and hold with your finger, then drag.
Release the cursor/your finger to pull up a menu box.
Select one of the four colors (yellow, green, orange, purple) from the menu box.
Once you’ve selected a color, the text will appear in that color inline in the document area.
You can delete a highlight by clicking on the highlighted text and clicking on the trash can in the annotation modal or by deleting the highlight in the Learning Tools area.
Creating notes on the eReader is like creating highlights.
If you are on a computer, click and drag your cursor to select the text you wish to annotate. If you are using a phone or tablet, press and hold with your finger and then drag.
Release the cursor/your finger to pull up the menu box.
Click the notepad icon (an image of a piece of paper with a pencil).
Select a color and type your notes in the text box which appears on the right side of the page.
Click the blue Save button.
Please note: Your Notes can also be found throughout the eReader on the right-hand side of the desired annotation
