Realize Reader Comments

Using the Realize Assignment Viewer, you can provide your student with feedback in their Realize Reader assignments by adding a comment to a highlight, annotation, or inline Notebook prompt response. When you or your student adds a comment, a comment thread is created that enables you to continue to communicate with each other in context.
