NEW! Launching Summer 2018

Hello, We are delighted to introduce you to our new Smart Annotation tool which enables dynamic annotations (feedback, comments, notes, marking) on any type of work including PDF, video, audio – any type of electronic file.

Timely and constructive feedback on apprentice’s work is crucial within a learner centric delivery model, as it facilitates progression through reflective learning.

Smart Annotation can be used from our existing technology platforms, including the Smart Assessor evidence library, to digitally feedback on any work quickly and professionally

Key Features

Recording your voice makes it quicker and clearer to explain your feedback and avoids lengthy comment boxes.

Create Feedback Feedback and comments are directly tagged to the relevant part of the file you are reviewing, you don’t need to search for them afterwards.

You can continue to make as many comments throughout the work, also inviting others to add their feedback too.

Each comment is tracked to the relevant author.

Get Drawing with the Shape Tool Adding feedback to an image has never been easier, with the ability to draw shapes over a learner’s uploaded file.

A great way of editing images, draw a shape over the image to highlight the part requiring feedback and allow learners to easily identify areas for improvement.

Feedback on Videos Digitally mark and feedback learner’s videos by pausing at any time and adding a comment, voice note or shape.

The learner can then click the mark to see changes left by a reviewer on the timeline underneath.

Highlight Feedback Once the feedback is entered onto the evidence, a note appears in the highlighted box to the side, to help learners see clearly what has been reviewed.

Learners can click each note to view/listen to the comments and alter their work to improve their work.

If multiple reviewers have given feedback, learners can click to view all, view only one Assessors feedback, or review the notes in date given order.
