Main Features
Social Reading: Public Annotations on Course Materials
August 2021 Leganto
Students and instructors can now share their annotations with each other. When
allow citation public annotation (Configuration > Leganto > Features >
Leganto Features) is set to true (default), a toggle appears on citations with
embedded PDFs, giving instructors the option to enable or disable Public
Annotations on a per PDF/Citation basis.
If allow citation_ public _annotation is set to false, the Public/Private
toggle is hidden on the PDF header.
Public Annotations Enabled
If Public Annotations is enabled on the PDF header, the user can select
whether their annotation should be public or private. The default is Private,
in which case the annotation is only visible to the user who added the
annotation.
Annotations – Private
If an annotation is set to Public, the name of the person who wrote the comment, and the date and time of the comment are visible in the annotation menu. Public comments are searchable in the annotations menu. Each student’s name appears in a different color above their comment, and instructor comments appear with an instructor icon next to their name. Instructors can delete public annotations or change them to Private.
Public Annotations
Users can also change their own comments from Public to Private, or from Private to Public.
Annotation Settings – Set as Private
Additionally, Instructors can use the Edit Multiple Items tool in Leganto to enable or disable public annotations.
Edit multiple items
Note
Annotations are stored as a separate layer on the file, visible only in
Leganto and within the context of the reading list. They will not be added to
printed or downloaded versions of the file, and private/public annotations are
only copied when selecting Move item to the same list.
Below are the rules for when private/public annotations are not copied:
- Duplicating a list
- Selecting Copy to my collection
- Selecting rollover
- Copying a section/citation to another list
- Copying a section/citation to the current list
- Selecting Move item to a different list
For more information, see Creating Private Annotations.
Easily Link to a Section or Citation from the LMS
August 2021 Leganto
By default, when creating an LTI link in the Learning Management System (LMS),
the link points to the list associated with the course. Link Selection enables
you to specify what item your link should point to (either to a list, a
section, or a citation). You must be using LTI 1.3 to take advantage of this
feature. For more information, see Link Selection.
