The course card allows you to open specific learning objects. To move between them, use the My Progress panel [1]. To highlight and save excerpts, click the Notebook icon [2]. For additional support, click the IgniteAI icon [3]. IgniteAI provides immediate responses and suggested prompts that can aid learning, such as practice quizzes, flashcards, summaries, and key takeaways.
