ANNOTATION TOOLS

Just as sketching is the natural way to design, ink is the natural way to mark-up documents. Ink annotations can be richer than imbedded text by including, not only, notes, but also, underlining, circles and asterisks. There are a number of general commercial tools that support ink annotation (for example adobe acrobat) but these are cumbersome to use for complex multi-document tasks such as student assignment marking.

• PenMarked is a tool designed to support ink annotation and grading of student assignment such as essays and computer programs.
• Our IDE Annotation are tools designed to annotate program code in existing IDEs.
• Our Browser Annotation tool designed to support shared annotation of web pages.
