New Quizzes: PDF annotation in QUIZZES for iPads

0 Likes

So, I noticed that canvas has an annotation tool where students can scribble on PDF's in the assignments section on the iPad Canvas app. This also works in the quizzes section before students press the "take quiz" button; however, the file that was uploaded is visible to students but they cannot (at least that I'm aware of) annotate the PDF when they are actually taking the quiz.

Even if it is not a complete annotation system, a tool that allows them to highlight the PDFs while they take a quiz would be very useful.

I definitely want a question type that would allow students to annotate on a pdf or on an image within New Quizzes. We should be able to have students write on a document in number 1, answer a multiple choice question in number 2, complete a fill-in-the-blank in number 3.... It's crazy to me that this isn't already available.
