AP allows you to develop libraries of comments taht you can use and re-use throughout the Canvas platform. That means that it is not limited to use in grading - but has become my go-to place for storing any content I anticipate re-using. AP has cut down the time it takes me to provide feedback by about 50%, in all honesty. But besides time saving, I truly believe it has improved the quality of my feedback.

I have used Annotate PRO for the last two years and I love it! Saves so much time responding to students in MS Word documents. I downloaded the Chrome extension and wow! I use it in Discussion Boards, emails, instant messaging, and grade book feedback. WA

I just love how easy it is to draft a comment on the fly while grading a paper and then go back to the Annotate PRO feed after I'm done with the paper and add those comments into my library. I have two more sets of papers to grade over the next week or so, and I'm actually looking forward to it!

Annotate PRO is the singularly best aid to teaching that I have ever used, and it is a real privilege to be able to do so, thank you. Your prompt service and meaningful help make the whole experience more than amazing!

AP is one of the most helpful tools in providing feedback for students. I don't know what I would do without it!

With this app, I can provide more feedback, higher quality feedback, on student writing, and I can do it in a third of the time it used to take without the frustration that comes from writing the same thing over and over again. The comment libraries allow me to address common errors consistently, using a neutral tone. The ability to create groups of comments based on an assignment types helps keep related comments organized. The analytics feature makes individual conferences more focused and productive. This is a boon to anyone who grades writing.

Annotate helps me create much much better feedback in 1/3 the time. My students love me for all the detail I provide them and it shows in my course evaluations. Students are hungry for personal feedback even if it is critical. And they appreciate the time and effort I put in. I've used Annotate for years- loved it. The college edition library is pretty good, and I've heavily edited it over the years to suit my needs. Our big online programs are starving for efficient training and consistency initiatives, especially for goals as worthwhile as getting more writing into our curriculum.

AP allows me to streamline the grading process and easily add frequently used comments to student work regardless of the platform that I'm using. A huge time saver that allows me to work through a stack of exams or papers (and even respond to emailed questions) surprisingly quickly and easily. Brady K Grad Hacker Columnist Inside Higher Ed

I really appreciate how easy this software makes it to give thoughtful and personalized feedback to students.

As an English teacher, AP has helped me more efficiently provide actionable and consistent feedback to students. It works well across all digital platforms used by our district, and the analytics available are very helpful for the data-driven context we find ourselves in as educators. Not only have my students benefited from this, but I too have refined my feedback practices to keep up with the changing demands of academia in the 21st century.

After the university I teach at discontinued their subscription to the grading feature in TurnItIn, I really found myself missing the ability to manage and use my own library of comments. After a brief search, I found AP, which has given me back all of those capabilities, but with the flexibility to use it outside of TurnItIn. Ap allows me to offer much more and richer feedback than would be otherwise possible, while saving a huge amount of time doing so. It really is a win-win.

Add premium Comment Libraries…

AP more than just software. AP has expert feedback libraries that you can share with all your faculty as-is or use as starting points for your own custom content development. You can easily license our Libraries of expert feedback to add to your individual or institutional account.

School Resources Edition - expert knowledge on navigating your school

Instructors are often the front line for questions from students on policies, events, resources. SRE is a solution customized for your institution that makes it easy to centrally manage a knowledgebase of answers so your faculty (and staff) can quickly search and respond.
