How do I view notifications?

When your instructor provides feedback, shares notes, or changes due dates in your webtext, you’ll receive a notification in both your webtext’s Notifications panel and via email.

If you have a new notification, you’ll see a red dot in the Notifications panel in the upper right corner of your webtext. Click “Notifications” to expand the panel.

The email you receive includes a link to your webtext, where you can check the Notifications panel.

Instructor feedback

Your instructor may provide feedback by commenting on your responses, unposting or resetting work, or pinning response-board answers.

Click on any notification and you’ll be taken directly to the specific short-answer question, response board, or writing template where your instructor left feedback. Then click “View comment” to review the feedback you received. The comments your instructor leaves are private and can only be viewed by you and your instructor.

Your instructor may also unpost your response. You can revise unposted responses and repost them by simply clicking “Post” again.

Shared notes

Your instructor can share notes with you in the webtext to provide extra context, share resources, or point out key information. You’ll receive a notification when they share a note on a page you’ve already viewed.

To view the shared note, click the notification, and you’ll be taken directly to the section where it was added.
