Inking in Assignments
Comments alongside an assignment are often inadequate and direct annotation on the document with inking would be preferable. At present it is only possible to ink on an assignment if clicking through several buttons and completing dual authentication to download file to desktop. Inking should be present on screen instantly within Teams with no need to select edit or download to desktop to edit. Inking is available in OneNote it should be available in all online apps!

Inking in assignments is essential, and Microsoft should be aware of this especially with their Surface line of tablets. Personally I use a Wacom graphics pad, and I have to resort to asking my students to embed each scanned image into a word document, which I then open in desktop mode in order to ink. I want to be able to ink directly on image files as well as documents within the Teams app.

Without this option of annotating (at least), it is very difficult to identify their mistakes. Such option must be there even in PDF files. In Mathematics subject, students can not type using equations function in word, and it is time consuming too.

Disappointed... time passes and they neither read it. I started to use google classroom, and I will never use Teams.

I’m a languages teacher and not being able to annotate & correct students work directly onto the page is hugely frustrating , going through One Note is slow and cumbersome. Students like to write their work and take a picture of same , then upload into assignments tab BUT i cannot ink on it ...it’s so disappointing, grammar & spellings simply cannot be corrected properly - giving “feedback” in side panel iis often meaningless to students as they aren’t sure what i’m referring to in their work

It seams to be very easy to solve. Microsoft should store the assignement on cloud like one drive or share point and allows to edit it by an app like paint. Why they didn't do it?

I suggest to use Google Classroom or Moodle, both allows you to give a real feedback to students. Abandon Microsoft and Teams because their development is very slow. They take more than 2 month to give you a 3x3 video, instead Google only some weeks. Hope some day I could see Microsoft collapse....

For some reason on this specific topic of inking, the Teams developers never respond.
It's impossible to provide any decent feedback to 200+ students using the current 'Assignment Feedback box'.
Downloading all 200+ assignments, or opening in Word, saving, re-uploading, or sending documents back to each student individually is just impractical.When I send the assignment, I make sure the file is 'students can edit a copy'. However when the file is returned to me it's 'read only'. How does that make sense?!
It's infuriating.

Ink in One Note is not enought! When you give a homework to a student in OneNote and send it through Teams, parents to deliver it have to download two app in their phone, both Teams and One Note. Obviously this make everything burdensome, and parents preferes to send you the task by email. If I give a homework only using Teams I cannot directly ink on the images, I have to download the image, correct it, and send an email.This is a waste of time. If I give the homework only using OneNote I don't have a report and the control of the situation. On Google Classroom all this is possible, so please Microsoft hurry up, we are not asking the moon, just a simple and basic tool. What a pity that it seems they neither read, this suggests was uploaded in 2017 and we still haven't an answer.

I love the ability to ink or type instantly in OneNote assignments submitted in Teams and would love a similar limited inking menu in Word assignments! I could circle and make notes in the margins like I do on paper! I can currently ink if I open the Word document in the desktop app, ink, save, then go back to Teams, and all that takes a while so I end up not giving as much feedback.

I agree, being able to annotate/ink documents within assignments that are not word/PowerPoint/OneNote would make a huge difference. Currently I am downloading the submission, annotating and then emailing back to pupil. There are benefits of being able to annotate in assignments and keep all submissions together on Teams

A lot of people claims foR something that already exists on Google Classroom. We want to edit, write, visualize better the assignement, we want to give a better feedback without have to download the file and send it by email.
This suggest was uploaded in 2017 it is a shame that there is no answer.Here a list of similar topic. Microsoft program are slow compared to Google, slow as the ability of the entreprise to improve their tools.

There are a lot of comments that claims for the possibility of an online editing on students assignement, not only a comments. We need INK, pen, something like an Online Microsoft Paint to edit and give students a real feedback. This is important especially for primary school students. Could copy what already do Google Classroom and make it better.
Here a lot of similar comments:

Does Microsoft Teams actually read these comments?

This is essential for marking maths and providing worthwhile feedback to students.
