PDF Annotation

Activities ::: mod_pdfannotator
Maintained by Bernd Decker, Tim Schroeder, Amrita Deb Dutta
The PDF annotator allows students to insert questions, comments and remarks on learning materials in PDF format directly into the document. Since all students, lecturers and tutors can read and answer the questions and comments asked, it is made easier to clarify open questions on lecture slides, scripts and other PDF learning materials quickly and in a concrete context.
