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.

View Realize Reader Comments

A comment notification symbol in the Assignment Viewer notifies you when a student adds a new comment. A red indicator bubble displays the total number of unread comments on the Menu button. Select the comments notification symbol to navigate to the first unread comment where the new text is emphasized with bold font.

You are not notified of comments your students add to unassigned pages.
