OPEN THE NOTES MANAGER THAT SHOWS YOU THE LIST, OR
USE THE NOTES SECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU

USING HIGHLIGHTS & searches

 To highlight a key work
 And in many other ways
 If you highlight the right answers and hide the highlight, you can show it when correcting to show
students the right answer

point); you will see where that is dealt with in the book

In the blue bar above the iTExt controls, you have the bookshelf. It is near
‘welcome + name) If you click it will show all the eTest available on your
account.
If you click on settings, it will show you the course information (at the moment
there’s no course attached to your account, so you can’t see anything)
DASHBOARD AND MATERIALS

Let’s go back to the dashboard, where all your books are listed.
Here you can find all the extra resources, whn clicking on the ‘non eTest’ version of the book,
and also materials like audio, videos, answer keys etc… for course books that don’t have an
eText

A very interesting section, I suggest you use a lot, is the PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. It is a
training session with lots of interesting ideas.
