Improve teacher feedback on assignments: zoom, rotate, write on image/pdf, upload file...

It would be very useful, for a teacher, to have the following features when working with assignments - in addition to the already present "feedback" option:


  1. zoom and rotate also images, not only .pdf;

  2. write or draw (make annotations) on images and .pdf files;

  3. upload a file (image, pdf, office doc,...) together with the feedback - for instance, I could write something in the feedback and then upload a file with the complete solution of a given excercise.

These features could save a teacher a lot of time and, at the same time, make the feedbacks much more effective for students.

    Would be great to be able to highlight a particular part of a notebook "page" and "add comment" as is possible inside a word document. As it is I need to clutter the page to give feedback and students feel like they can't get rid of it like "resolving" inside a document.

    I would love to see a feedback feature like Turnitin.com's Quickmark feature in which I can pre-populate some comments or create comments as I see common issues occurring and then "drag and drop" comments. This would save an immense amount of time.

    Being able to use an "ink" feature to make comments on pictures would be very helpful too.

    Reducing the steps required would be helpful. Being able to work directly into any document without having to open in other apps, download, upload etc

    I agree that it would be very useful and far less time-consuming if Microsoft teams had a feature that allows the teacher to write and make annotations on images and .pdf files. Uploading a file (image, .pdf or office docs) with feedback and then uploading a file with the complete solution of an exercise would also be a very useful feature.
