Comprehension is a social annotation tool that helps students to better process various types of study material such as videos, audio, images or documents. Students are primed on predetermined topics specified by teachers. Students select and annotate parts of the material where the predefined topics are discussed. This helps students to grasp the structure of the material and improves students’ comprehension skills.
Optionally, annotations of peers can be set as visible for collaborative learning purposes.
