It would be helpful for students (and sometimes faculty) to be able print an assignment with all of the annotations printed out. I know this is a feature in other LMS. This prevents the student from having to look at the graded assignment and then determine which bubble goes with what. The comments would simply be printed either on the page...or on the side with a line to the bubble.

Kristin Anderson This would be very helpful to us. We have student contributing chapters in courses that all combine to a final project. If they could download their papers or even print them with comments, it would help them integrate changes in the end.
-
Jonathon Beeke We would like to see this as well!
-
Rachel Chenoweth Yes, this would be great for students to see annotations when they print a hard copy.
-
Liza Davis We would also like to see this.

Elaine Phillips We also request improved annotation capabilities.Instructors need the option for a larger annotation box and larger font; and they need to be able to print those annotations when they print student documents.I sometimes like to print and view the same assignment from several students side by side. I have more ink and paper for that than I do multiple monitors. And sometimes I work away from any computer and am glad to have assignments printed.I'd like to think Populi wants its annotation feature fully useful so instructors don't decide they should annotate outside Populi: download to and comment via another program, and then save back to Populi. Populi has the right idea offering annotations affixed to student documents, and these improvements would increase its value for teaching. -

Francis Feingold Seconding. My students would like the ability to download the file containing my annotations, so they don't have to be online and in Populi to view them.

Ann Maouyo It would also be nice (but this is not as crucial as being able to save/ download) to be able to annotate by highlighting the text being annotated (instead of creating a box which may or may not exactly cover the text referred to).
-
Ann Maouyo Yes please! It would be helpful to be able to do this. You could do it by having the assignment printed to PDF or downloaded or a Save-as. As an instructor I sometimes want a personal record of what I told a student. I notice this request was first submitted in 2015... it would be great to see it move up in the list of priorities.
-
Carolyn Dowd Yes, please. Especially for those writing projects/assignments that continue throughout the semester, having the annotations print on the assignment would be a great addition.
-
Jill Lewis Have there been any updates for this feature? We would really like to see this available to the students. Learning from the feedback is a big part of the process!
-
Boni Kebasen Please provide this feature. Being able to print annotations can be helpful and provide other accessible means for students to work on feedback.
-
Dariya Stuter This feature would be great! It would allow students to see all the feedback at once on a downloaded or printed document instead of going bubble by bubble. I would really appreciate it.
-
Kathryn Helleman I'm echoing this request based on student feedback. The only work around I've been able to locate is to screenshot each 'bubble.' That's obviously not a sustainable practice for longer assignments. A larger box for annotations would also be advantageous.
-
Heather Maust I agree. Our faculty would appreciate being able to leave annotations for students to see feedback on assignments, but they would also value being able to print/export the pdf while including their annotations. This feature would be a great addition.
-
Jill Lewis It would be great to hear from Populi regarding this, maybe with some hope that this feature is being developed....:-)
