🧑🏼🏫 What Are Class Notes?
Class notes, provided by instructors (Guides) during Live Classes or added by you during review, are crucial for language acquisition. They encompass grammar rules, new vocabulary, phrases, and pronunciation advice. A curated list of these saved items can then be utilized as a reference during interactions with other learners and Guides on the platform.
Receiving and Using Notes During Live Classes
When a Guide sends you a class note during a Live Class, you will see a brief pop-up notification. Reminder notifications will also appear on your Toolbox Icon (computer only) and Class Notes icons.
To interact with your notes, open the Class Notes menu.
On Computer:
Open the Tool Kit by pressing SPACEBAR on your keyboard or clicking the toolbox icon on your screen.
Select Class Notes.
In VR:
Open Geo and the Class Notes Menu by pressing the A button on your RIGHT controller or the menu button on your right wrist with a virtual finger.
Select Class Notes.
Click and drag the window to different locations to suit your learning needs.
Guide Notes
Upon opening the Class Notes menu, you will be directed to the Guide Notes tab. This tab automatically saves all class notes sent by a Guide during a session, which can later be accessed and reviewed in the Homeroom. Each Guide Notes entry includes two buttons: Spawn and + My Notes.
Spawn
Spawn
This feature creates a note card in your hand, which can be placed on surfaces or expanded to hang in front of you, providing support during an activity.
⚙️VR Controls for Spawned Notes
Expand: While holding a small card, press the front trigger button on the controller.
Hang in Mid-air: After expanding the card, simply release it to keep it in place.

This option allows you to save the term to your personal notes, which include entries from all classes, levels, and languages.
Reviewing Class Notes in the Homeroom
All notes from live classes and your personal saved notes are located in your Homeroom's Review tab. To begin reviewing, log in to the IMMERSE VR app or launch IMMERSE from the WebApp.
Past Classes
You can review guide notes from live classes you have attended under Past Classes. Follow these steps to get there:
In your Homeroom, click > Review > Past Classes.
Hover over the class tile you want to see the Guide Notes for.
Click > View Notes.
Click the yellow Back arrow to return to the list of past classes.
ℹ️ Class Tile Information
Each past class is listed in chronological order (newest to oldest) and its tile displays:
Language Level
Difficulty Rating (High/Low)
Class Title
Date Completed
After selecting View Notes, the side panel will tell you:
Instructor/Guide who led the session
Location/Scene where the session was held
My Notes: Curating Your Personalized List
My Notes allows you to create a personalized note list. You can save key terms from Guide Notes sent during Live Classes or enter your own notes, enabling you to concentrate on specific vocabulary or concepts for various learning and review opportunities.
⚠️ All Languages, All Levels
Currently, your "My Notes" list displays all saved entries chronologically, without categorization by language program or fluency level. However, you can utilize the Language Assist Feature within your notes, both in live scenes and in your Homeroom, to help with words and phrases, regardless of the language.
Adding Terms to "My Notes"
Adding Terms to "My Notes"
Terms can be added to your My Notes collection in three ways:
During a live class: Click + My Notes next to any term in the class guide notes to save it instantly.
From Past Class Notes: If a term is already saved, the + My Notes button will be dimmed until you remove the term.
From the "Create a Note" option of the Review > My Notes tab: Manually add your own custom notes.
ℹ️ Accessing Notes in Live Classes and Community Scenes
You can always access your saved notes when participating in Live Classes (regardless of the language) and visiting Community Scenes. Simply follow the same steps you would use to open Guide Notes during a class.
In IMMERSE VR
Press the A button on your RIGHT controller to open Geo and the notes menu.
Select Class Notes > My Notes to see all saved notes.
Click and drag the window to different locations to suit your learning.
On a Computer
Press SPACEBAR to open the Tool Kit, or click the Tool Kit icon.
