Annotations Assignment - Preschool - Grade 5

Annotations Assignment

Instructors can create an assignment that allows students to annotate a file. This feature allows teachers to provide an attachment as part of the assignment without downloading or uploading it multiple times or assigning it individually to students. 

This assignment type provides students with the following annotation options:

  • Add a text box
  • Add shapes, for example, circle, square, or rectangle
  • Highlight parts of the attachment 
  • Pen tool for drawing and writing


Note: Type annotations, for example, underline, highlight, and squiggly will only work for text within an uploaded document.
