The University of Iowa is excited to introduce Note Depot, a centralized platform in ICON designed to simplify access to note-taking resources for students and instructors. Note Depot has two distinct features:

  • LectureAI: Leverages artificial intelligence to generate notes from recorded UICapture (Panopto) lectures.
  • Note Taking Exchange: Facilitates note sharing by allowing designated individuals to contribute class notes. Notetakers must be approved by the instructor before their notes can be shared through the exchange.

Instructors will need to add Note Depot to their ICON course before choosing which features they would like to use. Note Depot was developed in partnership by ITS Administrative Information Systems, the ITS Office of Teaching, Learning, and Technology, and Student Disability Services.

Note Depot provides instructors with the ability to review notes before they are published, control when notes become available, and release notes only to students with the Class Notes accommodation or to the entire class.

View the instructor guide for more details on how to get started with Note Depot. If you have questions about this tool, please contact the ITS Help Desk.
