What has ADFI been up to – meet Anotar!

Check out the work our ADFI team has been doing on developing the ability to annotate online. An annotation feature exists in our current ICE2.0 product, however the feature is only useful from an authoring perspective and is text-based.

Through focus groups and other interactions with colleagues, ADFI has identified the need to extend annotations beyond the authoring stage and into the general reading and interaction with web-based content. For example, where annotations can presently be added by co-authors, this new work will allow students to annotate their courseware with questions and have on-going discussions with both educators and peers.
