This is the Library in Get More Brain

About the Library

In the library, you’ll find all the titles and learn­ing con­tent you’ve down­loaded or pur­chased from the Acad­e­my. All the con­tent you need for you and your learn­ing jour­ney at your fin­ger­tips! Open a title in the library and start learn­ing. You can read, watch, lis­ten, high­light, anno­tate, and edit learn­ing con­tent.

Since the learn­ing con­tent in Get More Brain is built very mod­u­lar, you can share indi­vid­ual con­tent with your con­tacts or save it to a per­son­al note­book.

Sharing Content: What this means for your learning

In Get More Brain, you can share con­tent with oth­ers. You can also copy indi­vid­ual con­tent to your note­book and add your own con­tent there. This sounds obvi­ous, but it’s not!

When you read a print­ed book while learn­ing, you don’t have this option. If you want to share con­tent with some­one, you have to re-write it or scan it by tak­ing a pic­ture. Even if the book is avail­able as an e‑book, it is often dif­fi­cult to copy indi­vid­ual ele­ments of the con­tent from the e‑book and use them in anoth­er app.

In Get More Brain, shar­ing con­tent is explic­it­ly allowed. For us, it is the core of learn­ing that you con­tin­ue to work with con­tent, dis­cuss it with oth­ers, add your own thoughts and ideas to it. That’s why the con­tent in Get More Brain is mod­u­lar. You don’t have to copy an entire chap­ter. You can use and work with indi­vid­ual pas­sages, images, videos or quizzes.

💡 You may won­der about copy­right pro­tec­tion. Don’t wor­ry, we’ve tak­en care of that: if you share a piece of con­tent in Get More Brain with some­one who does­n’t own the title, he or she will be tak­en direct­ly to the Acad­e­my, where the title can be pur­chased. Only then can the shared con­tent be edit­ed.

Sharing single Bits

All learn­ing con­tent in Get More Brain is very mod­u­lar. You can share indi­vid­ual sec­tions, images, videos or quizzes with your learn­ing part­ners or save them in your per­son­al note­books. There you can add your own con­tent or make detailed notes.

To work with a sin­gle con­tent bit, click on the small black dot at the top right of each mod­ule. A con­text menu opens, which offers you dif­fer­ent pos­si­bil­i­ties.

  1. Go to the Dot Menu of a Bit
  2. Choose ‘Send’ or ‘Save to Note­book’
  3. Choose a Con­tact or a Note­book to send the bit to

Share mul­ti­ple Bits via the Bas­ket

If you want to send not just one bit, but sev­er­al to one of your con­tacts or trans­fer them to a note­book, Get More Brain has a handy fea­ture for that: the Bas­ket.

  1. Go to the Dot Menu of a Bit
  2. Choose ‘Add to Bas­ket’
  3. Go to anoth­er Bit and repeat the steps

This way you can store as many indi­vid­ual Bits as you like in the bas­ket, a kind of clip­board. The Bits are saved one after the oth­er. You can also merge Bits from dif­fer­ent learn­ing con­tents in the bas­ket.

The Bas­ket is a handy tool to col­lect mul­ti­ple Bits.

After you have filled the bas­ket, you can check the con­tents of the bas­ket by click­ing on the side­bar / on the table of con­tents. In the upper-right cor­ner, you can see how many objects are cur­rent­ly in the bas­ket.

  1. Click / Tap on the but­ton to view the cur­rent con­tents of your Bas­ket
  2. Use the dot menu of every Bit to per­form some actions
  3. Use the menu in the top-right cor­ner to:
    • Send all Bits in the Bas­ket to one of your Con­tacts
    • Save all Bits in the Bas­ket to a Note­book
    • Emp­ty the cur­rent Bas­ket

Add a text highlight

As in almost every screen read­er, you can mark impor­tant parts of the text with col­or.

  1. Select the text you want to col­orize.
  2. Select the high­lighter icon in the pop­up menu.
  3. To remove the high­light, click / tap the icon again.

💡 Instead of just mark­ing a text with col­ors, you can add an anno­ta­tion (Book­mark, Favorite, Note). The select­ed text will be copied to the anno­ta­tion.

Add a text high­light in the Read­er.

Create and edit annotations

When read­ing or watch­ing your con­tent, you can cre­ate Notes, Favorites and Book­marks. These remain stored with your con­tent.

Bookmarks

Book­marks are impor­tant to remem­ber the exact loca­tion of a spe­cif­ic Bit. You can build your own Table of Con­tents with your Book­marks. You can add a com­ment. Every Book­mark has its own Dot Menu where you can change the col­or or delete the Book­mark.

Favorites

If you like a con­tent, you can add a Favorite to the spe­cif­ic Bit. The Favorite appears in your con­tent. You can type in a brief com­ment. Every Favorite has its own Dot Menu where you can change the col­or or delete the Favorite.

Notes

If a Favorite with a brief com­ment is not enough to write down your thoughts, you can use a Note.

In a Note, you can place longer texts. You can cre­ate lists and work with titles. You can even insert images into your note. Every Note has its own Dot Menu where you can change the col­or or delete the Note.

💡 Favorites, Notes and Book­marks are con­ve­nient tools to anno­tate your learn­ing con­tent. That said, there is anoth­er way to cre­ate anno­ta­tions. You can copy one or more bits into a per­son­al Note­book. You can also use anno­ta­tions there. But you have many more options because you can also cre­ate and add your own con­tent in your Note­books. It’s also pos­si­ble to share notes from your Note­book with your Con­tacts. This fea­ture is not offered by the sim­ple Favorites, Notes and Book­marks in the Library.

Scribbles

You can add a freeform scrib­ble to a bit. This works best on a con­vert­ible / tablet with a pen­cil.

See all your Annotations

Use the side­bar to see all your favorites, notes and book­marks. From there, you can jump direct­ly to the places in the con­tent where you made the anno­ta­tion.

  1. Click / Tab on the icon of the table of con­tents in the upper-right cor­ner.
  2. Open the jump list by click­ing / tap­ping on the name of the cur­rent chap­ter.
  3. On the bot­tom of the list you find links to see your Book­marks, Favorites and Notes.
  4. Choose one of them and see the list of all your anno­ta­tions.
  5. You can fil­ter the list by col­or.
  6. Click / Tap on one spe­cif­ic anno­ta­tion to jump to its loca­tion in the con­tent.
