You can also access this material when you are in Engage. From the Engage home page, click the circle with your initials or photo. Then click the Help button:

Publishers will have their own documentation on their websites. The following are direct links to Engage documentation:

Help for Students

Help for Instructors

  • Adding Notes in Text
    • Note: Notes can be made accessible if listed in a Word document. Providing this option to students will help create equal opportunities.
  • Share Notes with Students
    • Note: When in collaboration mode, you cannot edit the text (add notes, highlights, etc.). Because sharing is not an accessible feature, it should not be required or used as a grade item.
  • Using Analytics
