Note:

There are multiple ways that a student’s submission may be displayed, depending upon the type of submission:

  • ’Submission Text’ is text entered directly into the assignment submission text-box and cannot be annotated.
  • Uploaded MS Office* or PDF documents will appear in a ‘crocodoc’ viewer and can be annotated.
  • A download link will appear if students upload a file type different from MS Office or PDF. This file cannot be annotated online.

The following filetypes will be displayed in the crocodoc viewer and can be annotated.

  • -.doc or .docx
  • -.ppt or .pptx
  • -.xls or .xlsx
  • -.pdf
