The video textbook environment may provide a web interface that displays videos and enables students to take notes regarding the videos. The student may request bookmarks be placed on a video. These bookmarks may be selected to return the video to the designated portion associated with the bookmark. The notes may be timestamped to correspond with a video counter value, such as where a bookmark is positioned. In this fashion, a student's notes may be associated with a given location in the bookmark. Notes may be aggregated for partitions of the video textbook. In particular, notes can be stored in a database a query may be issued to aggregate notes for a selected partition. The notes may then be displayed or downloaded to a user, such as a student.
