How does the Instructor Notes block work?

The Instructor Notes block can only be viewed by content editors in CourseArc and instructors via an LMS.

Note: Content creators will not see the Instructor Notes block when previewing a page in CourseArc—preview mode displays the learner view of a page.

1. Navigate to the page and select Edit this Page. Find the position you want to add a block and select the plus (+) icon.
   
2. From the dropdown, select Add Block.
   
3. In the Add Block modal, either:
   • Use the Search field to find a block by keyword
   • Select a block from your custom list of Favorites
   • Scroll through the list of All Blocks to select one
   • Use the various Categories to filter by block type
   • Select a star icon to add or remove blocks in your Favorites list
     
4. Select the Instructor Notes block. The Instructor Notes form will open.
   
   
5. Enter the notes. Select Add+ to add the block to the page.
   
   
6. The new block will appear on the page in Edit Mode with a red, dotted outline indicating it's editable. 
   
   
7. Select the Publish My Edits button to save the block to the course page and see the content as it will appear to instructors.
