Pearson Connexus allows you to add notes to courses, folders, and activities. After creating notes, you can return and review and edit them when necessary. These notes are intended for personal use and only you can access them.
Note: User notes are not accessible from assessment activities.

How many User Notes can a user create?
For each user, Pearson Connexus allows the creation of up to 2,000 notes across all courses and activities.
Of those 2,000 notes:
- They can create up to 10 course-level notes per course (meaning notes that are attached to a course as a whole).
- They can create up to 10 folder and activity-level notes per folder/activity (meaning notes that are attached to each individual folder or activity).
So, if a user were enrolled in a course with two folders and four activities, they could end up using up to 70 of their 2,000 notes:
- 10 course-level notes
- 20 folder-level notes (10 for each of the 2 folders)
- 40 activity-level notes (10 for each of the 4 activities)
Create Notes

To create a note:
Open the Course Home:- To create a course-level note (attached to the entire course), select the Notes icon at the top of Course Home.

- Note: Use hashtags with terms that you want to be easily searched. For example, you could use #MarineLife to be able to quickly find all notes related to that folder.
-
The note is saved and attached to the specific activity, folder, or course where you created it. In this example, it's attached to an activity called Find as many polygons as you can.
To access the note later, you can reopen this activity or select See all notes and find it.
On the All notes screen, notes are listed in chronological order. By default only notes from active courses are listed, but you can select View past courses to see notes from inactive courses.
Review, edit, and delete notes
To review notes:
- Open the Course Home and select the Notes icon in the toolbar. Selecting it at the course level shows notes attached there; selecting it after opening an activity or folder shows notes attached to those items.
- Any notes attached to the course, folder, or activity that was selected when you selected the Notes icon appear.
- Select Go to all notes to see all notes you've created.
- On the See all notes screen, notes are listed in chronological order.
- By default only notes from active courses are listed, but you can select View past courses to see notes from inactive courses.
- Use the Search window to find notes using specific words or hashtagged terms. Hashtags make terms easily searched. For example, you could use #MarineLife to be able to quickly find all notes related to that folder.
- Select on a note to Edit or Delete. Be sure to Save changes.
