It\u2019s the perfect study aid for all types of learners: auditory (record and playback audio synced to writing for exam), visual (handwrite with Apple Pencil or share with Presentation Mode), Read\/Write (type and annotate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Students<\/strong>: Notability makes it easy to organize class notes, write out thoughts, record classes, and review for exams. It combines multiple inputs like sketching, handwriting, audio recording, photos, and more into one simple-to-use interface. Students can annotate slides, present projects in class, learn a language, and even complete and turn in class assignments in the cloud. Not to mention it can lighten backpacks; students can import presentation slides or even textbooks to review and mark-up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teachers<\/strong>: Use Notability as a single place to collect work, grade, provide student feedback and even present lessons (replacing traditional whiteboards). Teachers also use Notability to screencast and create videos and notes that they share with their students before and after class so that students can learn the concepts on their own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>[Above taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4409494284314-A-New-Generation-of-Notability-for-Students-Teachers-is-Here\">A New Generation of Notability for Students &amp; Teachers is Here \u2013 Notability (gingerlabs.com)<\/a> ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Material below comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4867633230234-Getting-Started-with-Notability\">Getting Started with Notability \u2013 Notability (gingerlabs.com)<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\">Getting started with Notability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/57KXB8jjN_o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4867633230234-Getting-Started-with-Notability#h_01H5ZCQSKGW1F148DYAH09007Y\">The Library<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4867633230234-Getting-Started-with-Notability#h_01H5ZCR33SVHK6S0XMHA0KB12D\">Create a New Note<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4867633230234-Getting-Started-with-Notability#h_01H5ZCRAD3G5RKX502TM04K35R\">The Toolbox<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4867633230234-Getting-Started-with-Notability#h_01H5ZCRGXDNVWXGGWCDZ2YQPXB\">Inside a Note: Undo\/Redo, Options Menu, and Content Manager<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h_01H5ZCQSKGW1F148DYAH09007Y\">The Library<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Library houses your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.gingerlabs.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/5949216168474\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notes, subjects, and dividers<\/a>.
