Abstract: A method for sharing notes created in a multilayered document among users of a social network within a digital education platform is provided. In one embodiment, the digital education platform allows a user to create notes linked to a particular location in the document using a notepad application. Notes are aggregated and stored in the user's personal library on the digital education platform. When a user requests to share another user's notes and is granted access, the digital education platform retrieves the other user's notes and inserts the shared notes into the requesting user's existing notes associated with the document, based on their individual sharing attributes and metadata.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method and system for tagging content for social interchange. When a user-generated post is received from a user device accessing a document from an online education platform for posting to an external social network, the system tags the user-generated post with a unique document-part identifier (ID) identifying a part of the document with which the post is associated. The document-part ID identifies the same part in both electronic and paper versions of the document. The post tagged by the document-part ID is posted to a live feed associated with the document-part ID on the external social network. User-generated posts from the live feed associated with the document-part ID on the external social network can be retrieved and displayed to the user.

Abstract: A digital publishing platform enables users to create and organize notes associated with electronic, published documents. Sets of notes, each associated with a document, are uploaded to the publishing platform by notepad applications executing on user devices. Each set of notes has one or more notes, and each note includes a link to a location in the associated document. The publishing platform is configured to index sets of notes based on keywords of the notes, which may be identified based on content of the publication at the location with which notes are associated.
