Getting Started with CoNotes

  1. First, breathe deeply. Sit down. Whisper your favorite magic incantation. Only then proceed reading.

  2. You enter the Course Materials by following a regular looking link, except that the URL will look a little funny. Example: link to CS314 course materials.

  3. You will be asked for your id and your annotation password. You will have gotten (or soon get) these.

  4. The documents you will see have annotation points which are marked by a link "You may add an Annotation". Clicking on that link will bring up a form into which you can type a text. The subject line will show up in the original document, so choose it well.

  5. Existing annotations are placed just above the "You may add an Annotation". A small icon tells you whether each annotation was made by a student or by course staff. You can respond to existing annotations, this is similar to responding to a posting in a newsgroup.

  6. Now whisper the magic incantation again, take another deep breath, and try it out!
