Annotating a PDF in Moodle (Assignment Feedback)

^{[Beginning August 2019 - The Annotating a PDF in Moodle feature is no longer available in Clarkson's Moodle. As a result, neither viewing or annotating student submitted assignment files within Moodle Grader area is available. As an alternative, instructors should consider alternate work flows for grading student submissions. See Turnitin's Feedback Studio or download student submissions/upload feedback files.]}

Moodle offers Instructors the ability to mark-up or annotate a pdf submitted by a student. No downloading and uploading is required. Changes are saved and visible by the student when she logs in to view her grade.
