How do I give feedback with annotations?

Simulise offers several ways to give feedback. When a student submits a blog or a document (for example a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or a PDF), you can also give feedback by adding comments and highlights to the document itself. In Simulise we call these annotations. Follow the steps below to see how it works.

1. Open a student's assignment.
2. Click the submission (blog or document). The submission opens in a side panel.

3. For submissions that can be annotated, the annotation toolbar appears automatically:

   

4. You can now add comments and highlights to the document. These are the options from left to right:
