Taking notes on LinkedIn Learning

“

- [Presenter] While watching a course, you'll often come across great tips, key concepts, or a call to action and when you do, I strongly recommend that you write these things down in in order to remember them, as well as review and reference them later, the Notebook tool in LinkedIn Learning makes this easy to do, let's take a look at how. First I want to bring up an important point, until now, we haven't seen the Notebook feature available in the courses we've been opening and that's because my organization had the Notebook feature disabled, it's now turned back on, so we're able to see it here on the course page. If I go over from Overview, Q&A, and here I have Notebook. Now this brings up a good point, because if there's a feature we discussed that you don't see that you think should be there, you'll have to talk to your system administrator to make sure it's turned on. Right now I have a course open and it's, "Learning to Teach Online." The specific video is, "Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning," and I can see that I'm 37 seconds into this video. Let's say I was watching it, going along here, and I come across this piece of information that I think is interesting that I want to note and remember, so what I'm going to do is go over to the Notebook tab, I'll click on this, and you see what is a very simple tool, it's simply a rectangle here that you can click in and start taking notes. So I'm going to go ahead and enter in my note. Now, when I'm done, I can hit Enter to save that and I'm going to save it. Now I want to scroll down to show you where the magic is with this notebook. So when I scroll down, I can see my note entered in here now. If I were coming back to revisit this course, I would see this note and it's telling me the chapter that it was in, it's telling me the video, "Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning," and it's giving me a timestamp of where that note was taken. So if I read this note here, "Asynchronous learning is when learners and instructors do not meet in real time." If I want to hear more about what the instructor says about this or if I need to clarify something, I can click on this note and it will bring me to that point in the video, which is really convenient. Now, I've only taken one note, so that's all that appears in here, but I want to switch to another tab of a course that I've currently been taking here that is titled, "Instructional Design: Needs Analysis." And if I click on the Notebook feature here and scroll down, I can see that I already have some notes in here, understanding the importance of needs analysis, here I have a note, in this other chapter, setting project objectives, and I took a note here. Let's say that on this one, I want to go back to this area to see what they were talking about while I took this note, I'll click Play and you can see it brings me to that point in that video, so extremely convenient and a great way to be able to reference what you learned and then access it quickly. So take advantage of the Notebook feature inside of LinkedIn Learning, and keep notes on the things that you learn or ideas when you're watching the course. There will be times that you want to refer back to something you learned in the course and you'll be so happy you took notes that you can refer back to.
