Do you every feel like this when providing feedback to your students?
You keep providing the same comment student after student.
This edition of the Friday Five introduces a Google Chrome Extension that allows you to more easily provide meaningful feedback on work collected in Canvas. The extension is called Annotate Pro. (Note: This extension is a "freemium" tool. This means it has a bunch of features that are free and others you can pay for. I am only highlighting free features.)
1. What is Annotate Pro?
Annotate Pro is a free extension that allows users to create comment banks that can be used when providing feedback in Speedgrader, Discussions and on Rubrics in Canvas. It can also be used with Google Docs and Word, but this post will focus on Canvas.
2. How does it work?
The 2 minute video below demonstrates the use of Annotate Pro in Speedgrader.
3. Can I create my own comments?
Yes, each user can create their own library of comments. Comments can include text and links to supplemental resources. You can even download your comments so you can share them with a colleague.
4. Will this tool limit personalization of comments for students?
When providing feedback, you often are providing similar comments to students. Once you place a saved comment on a student's work, you can still edit the comment and add additional, specific information. You do not loose your ability to create custom comments while utilizing Annotate Pro.
5. How do I add an extension to Chrome?
- Go to the Chrome Store
- Search for Annotate Pro
- Click Add to Chrome
- Accept Permissions
- The Extension will now run when in Google Docs or Canvas
