Feature iconMark up any PDF

Highlight, annotate and type text boxes straight onto a PDF, and it all saves into the file so the work travels with the document.

Overview

What this Feature Does

Mark up any PDF gives students the tools to work on the document, not just read it: highlighting, annotation, and text boxes typed straight onto the page. It all saves into the file, so a completed worksheet is still a completed worksheet when it is handed in.

Why it Matters

  • A worksheet is meant to be written on; a PDF a student can only read is half a worksheet
  • Marks save into the file, so the work travels with the document rather than living in a separate app
  • Students can complete work digitally instead of printing, scanning or photographing it back
  • Pairs with Speech to Text, so a student can dictate into a text box rather than type it

MTSS:

  • Tier 1: Every student can complete PDF work digitally
  • Tier 2/3: Students who cannot handwrite can still do the same worksheet as the class

UDL Principles:

  • Multiple means of action and expression: students respond directly on the document
