There are instances when artifacts (Documents, templates, videos, etc.) require annotations.
- “Annotation Competency Indicators” define the quality of the annotations you are required to complete.
- Annotations must be completed using the BoomBoard annotation tool.
- Educators can “Annotate a point” or “Annotate a section” in a file (document or template).
- Educators can “Annotate a time” in a video.
- Educators can “tag an indicator” in a file or video. In some cases, educators may be required to tag an indicator as per the “Annotation Competency Indicators”.
BloomBoard Template / File Annotation Tool
STEP 1. Complete the artifact and upload the file in the Exercise “Upload Artifact” section.
STEP 2. When self-generated annotations are required, you will see two options: “Annotate a point” or “Annotate a section”.
STEP 3. Click on the location where you want to annotate a point, or click and drag the annotation selection box to highlight a section.
STEP 4. How does the annotated point or selection address the competency indicator(s)? Type a description to make your thinking clear to the assessors. You should tag Competency Indicator(s) to each annotation by clicking + Tag Indicator.

BloomBoard Video Annotation Tool
STEP 1. Complete the artifact and upload the file in the Exercise “Upload Artifact” section.

STEP 3. Click “Annotate a time” to pause the video and open the annotation tool. Alternatively, you can manually enter the timestamps within the annotation tool.
STEP 4. How does the annotated point or selection address the competency indicator(s)? Type a description to make your thinking clear to the assessors. You also have the ability to tag the Competency Indicator(s) to each annotation by clicking + Tag Indicator.
