Constructive Feedback: Annotations
Learning Intention: To understand how to use the Annotations tool in Scholar.
When you are reviewing another student's work, Scholar allows you to make annotations, which are comments that are tied to a particular word or groups of words in a text. Through Annotations, you can provide more specific feedback to your peers. You’ll find Annotations at Creator => Feedback => Annotations. To make an annotation, first you need to highlight the part of the text that you are annotating and click 'Create an Annotation'.
There are two kinds of annotations:
- Make a comment
- Suggest a change (and then select the kind of change)
As soon as you make an annotation, the creator of the work gets a notification, and they can respond to you if they want to discuss your comment or suggestion further.
You can find out more about making annotations in Scholar at Submitting a Review and Annotations.
When you have completed all of the feedback requirements, go ahead and submit your feedback at About This Work => Project => Status.
