Dear Kristin and Ryan: Thank you so much for your quick replies. Based on your input and additional research, we have decided to request our Division to purchase the iPad with 1 st generation Apple Pencil. However, I would like to add two lingering thoughts. 1. I am still a little concerned about the Apple Pencil’s drawing functionality (responsiveness, precision and consistency) because we teach Japanese language and our annotation involves drawing complex characters. I am currently using Surface Pro 4, and am quite frustrated with its drawing functionality when annotating students assignments in Speedgrader. All assignments are uploaded in PDF, but I have noticed some inconsistency in DocViewer accessibility and Annotation functionality. For example: Some assignments open instantaneously while others take 1-2 minutes to open The view size of some assignments can be changed while others cannot On many assignments I can barely write anything meaningful because of the accept/delete popup box that gets in the way of my writing (Same comment from Greg Baxley on Apr 18, 2019 to Improving Stylus Functionality in DocViewer On many assignments, my writing is hardly legible (See Gideon Williams post on Mar 12, 2020 in his response to Thoughts on Stylus Support in SpeedGrader) My hope is that iPAD and 1 st generation Apple Pencil will not bring these problems. 2. I recently purchased a touch monitor, which I use with my non-touch Windows 10 PC. With my PASSIVE stylus, Canvas Annotation is not accessible. This issue was explained well by Matt Hanes on May14 2019 in his response to Thoughts on Stylus Support in SpeedGrader

We urgently need answers to the below questions in order to make some decisions and prepare for Summer quarter and beyond. We need an instructor-friendly, practical capability to use DocViewer to access and Annotate student assignments within Speedgrader. (The workaround (download, annotate, and upload) is not an option as it is too clumsy and time-consuming.) From reading Canvas community posts, it appears the “gold standard” for this capability is the iPad Pro with 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Due to the high cost of these devices, it is not practical for us to outfit our instructors with them. Therefore we are considering alternatives, and need answers to the following questions. Does the ANNOTATION function in Canvas SPEEDGRADER work exactly the same across the following current iPad models? If not, what is the difference in user experience? iPad (7th gen) with 1st generation Apple Pencil. iPad Pro (4th gen) with 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Does the ANNOTATION function in Canvas SPEEDGRADER work exactly the same on an Android tablet as one or both of the iPad models above? If not, exactly how is it different? What current model Android tablets does Canvas suggest for using the ANNOTATION function in Canvas SPEEDGRADER? For the ANNOTATE function in Canvas SPEEDGRADER, does Canvas plan to implement passive stylus support on Windows 10 touchscreen?
