The Mobile Apps support both taking Notes in a class as well as marking slides or video locations with Bookmarks. The Notes and Bookmarks you add through the mobile app appear in your Study Guide, just like they do in the browser version of EchoVideo.

Note that the Windows App does not yet contain Notes/Study Guide functionality.

To add a bookmark or a note while in the classroom, tap the blue plus sign.

Creating a Note

When creating a note, you will notice some pre-configured text selections as well as a Custom Note option.

Create note options with pre-configured text and custom note options as described

Selecting one of the pre-configured notes simply makes a note, with the video or slide location stamp, that says either Review Later or On Test.

Selecting Custom Text expands the box to include a small text entry area and pulls up the device keyboard. Replace the existing placeholder text and enter your own.

Add a custom note with text in the classroom as described

The Notes you enter, just like Bookmarks, appear in your study guide for the section, both in the Mobile App and in the browser-based interface of EchoVideo. The section and class notes are kept in sync.

Bookmarking simply marks a location in the video or a slide in a presentation in your Study Guide so you can return to that location later as needed.

Tap the blue plus sign then tap Bookmark.

Once a mark is added, an icon appears in the top right corner of the classroom view for that 30 second segment.
