Advantages of the use of annotation tools in education
education:
1.The activity of adding reflections move students from
being passive consumers of information to active readers engaged in
scholarly discussions.
2.Collaborative annotation tools offer new ways for students
to work collaboratively to find and evaluate information, share ideas,
and create knowledge.
3.Collaborative annotation tools facilitate the incremental growth of information
as users review others’ thoughts on a resource before adding their own. By
providing the ability to designate who is allowed access to collections of
resources, these tools reinforce the character of a cohesive group.
4.Because
they are web-based, collaborative annotation applications can be
made available to a global community, inviting experts in academic disciplines
to provide valuable insight on students’ efforts.
5.As students collectively annotate,
organize, and add value to existing resources, they learn how to sift,
evaluate, and contribute. When instructors use these tools over time, student
efforts might constitute an archive or library of remarks so that subsequent
classes can benefit from the observations of their predecessors.
