Abstract

Annotating is a very common activity. People often highlight and make notes while reading. Increasingly documents exist primarily in digital form. Supporting annotation of digital documents both for personal use and for asynchronous collaboration has many challenges.By building software prototypes and deploying them in laboratory and field studies, this work investigates three issues: robustly anchoring annotations on modified documents to meet user expectations, using annotations in an educational setting to enhance interaction outside of class, and providing appropriate notification mechanisms to support asynchronous collaboration around documents. Although the primary focus of this research is digital document annotation many of the findings may generalize to other media types including images and video.
