Live Notes

From $1

NOTE: Live Notes is a feature available only to customers with a support contract.

Live Notes allows users to take timestamped notes while a recording is in process.  These notes appear in the web-based viewer, and can be used to skip to the point in the video where the note was taken.  Notes can also be searched from within the viewer, which enables notes to act as a means of "tagging" points in the recorfor later review.  For example, a student could type "review" to mark points they want to go over again later.

Taking Live Notes

Live Notes can be accessed from the Student Home Page (click "Students" from the CourseCast home page).  Courses currently being recorded will have a "Lecture (or session) in progress" listed under the course (or folder) heading (see below).

Click "take notes" to open the web-based note-taking interface.

To begin taking live notes, enter a Channel. This channel can be whatever you want it to be, but remember that it does not have a password and that anyone who knows your Screen Name will be able to see and modify your notes.

As you enter notes, they will appear in the region above the text box, timestamped with the current time.
NOTE: The timestamp for a given note is the point in time when the user begins typing the note.  Entering a note or clearing the text box will reset the timestamp.

Click "delete" to the right (while hovering over a note) to delete the note.

It is not currently possible to edit a note from the Live Notes interface.  See "Viewing" below to learn how to replace a note while viewing the recording online.

Closing Live Notes

When the recording is over, or when you are done taking notes, simply close the Live Notes window. All of your notes are automatically saved on the server as you enter them.

Viewing

While viewing the video, click on the Notes tab under the main video player (number 4 below).  If necessary, enter the screen name you used when taking notes.  Your notes will appear, with their timestamp relative to the video.

Click a note to skip to that time in the video.

Click "delete" to the right of a note to delete it permanently.

It is possible to replace a note by pausing the video, clicking the note, entering the desired replacement text, then deleting the original note.

Searching

To search within your notes, make sure your screen name is selected in the Notes tab, then click on the Search tab (number 5 below).

Click the Notes radio button, enter terms to search for, then press [Enter] or click the Search button.

Click a search result to skip to that time in the video.
