Linking to Engage Resources Within eBooks and e-Textbooks

This article is for STUDENTS.

If your teacher has shared a multimedia resource with you via Snapplify Engage, you’ll be able to find these in your Snapplify Reader app. Since we know how important it is to be able to access resources quickly and easily while you're reading and revising, we've also given you the digital tools to link to a teacher-created Engage resource from PDFs and ePUBs in the Snapplify Reader app.

For example, you can add a science video shared by your teacher directly into your Natural Sciences e-textbook. This makes it easier to access the video while studying, helping you better understand the material.
