Add notes to Resources

You can add notes to Resource assets for your students to read. Some instructors add a note to stress the importance of a specific asset or to provide additional information or instructions. As you add and edit notes, whether or not you enter a date determines where the MyLab posts the note:

• Any note with a date is posted on the course calendar with a Pushpin icon , and both you and your students can open the note from the calendar.
• A note for a required Resource is posted along with the Resource in My Study Plan.
• All Resource notes—with and without dates—are posted in a topic's asset list in Resources. The MyLab displays Note in the Notes column, and you and your students can click Note to read the note.

Note: Hiding an asset that has a note also hides the note from your students.

Use these procedures to add, edit, or delete notes. Click a procedure's link to display its steps.
