About

Keep private notes alongside Moodle course content. Save a quotation, add your thoughts and return to the original page through the note's source link. A notes drawer accompanies course pages, while the searchable overview brings notes together across courses.

Use the visual Markdown editor, coloured personal tags and pasted screenshots. Page notes, course-wide notes and personal overview notes support different kinds of reference. Complete notes to move them to a private archive; restore them or permanently delete them after confirmation. Export notes as Markdown or PDF.

Notes, tags and screenshots belong to their author. The optional administrator mode allows authorised users to keep notes outside courses; it is disabled by default and does not expose other users' notes. Learner access remains limited to courses they can access.

Compatible QuickNote installations can offer an explicit import of a user's own notes. Importing preserves the originals and does not run automatically during installation. QuickNote is needed only for that optional migration.

Maintained by 108design and available free of charge under the GNU GPL v3 or later. Check the notes interface with your site's theme before enabling it for learners.
