Access your webtext

When you open the app, you’ll see a list of all the course webtexts you currently have access to.

Select the webtext you want to enter, and you’ll land on the last page you visited.

Answer questions

You’ll find almost all the same content in the app as in the web version, including multiple-choice questions. To complete a multiple-choice question, select an answer and then click Save.

Depending on your webtext, you may be able to reset all the questions at once with a button at the bottom of the page or reset them individually. For more information visit our Help Center article, How do I reset multiple-choice questions?

Your webtext may also include response boards or short-answer questions. To complete these questions, type your response and click Post.

If you want to make changes later, click Unpost & Edit.

Work offline

The app can be used online or offline, but some features may be reserved for online use only. You’ll see a message letting you know if that’s the case. You may also see an indication that certain questions may only be answered while your device is online.

Make sure to go online every now and then so your work syncs and you can receive credit for completing it. Don’t delete the app without syncing first or you’ll lose the work you completed while offline.

Navigate the webtext

Use the arrows at the bottom of the screen to navigate from one page to another.
