Hello
I am interested in finding an annotation tool for asynchronous collaborative
use online.
A lecturer at my institution has expressed an interest in posting on the web
say, a poem which students can then read for themselves and annotate as a
group.
Features which we may be interested in:
- ability to lock regions from editing
- ability to annotate annotations
- clear threading of annotations and their replies.
- name contributors
- ability to print
- version control (and possibly rollback)
Other functionality that might also be useful:
- controlled access
- public/private reading option
- granular permission model (so you can see but not change, when a
discussion has come to it's end).
So far we have looked into the comment feature in Word and Adobe Acrobat,
however the license fee for the latter does rather rule that out and the
need for a particular version for some of these features and lack of version
control in the former mean that it is not ideal. A wiki of some sort may be
a better option.
Can anyone recommend or point me towards any existing tool which might solve
this problem?
Many thanks in advance
Matthew Taylor
