WPI Case Studies• Professor Chick Kasouf
(Marketing - Management)▫ “I Have been doing this for about 3 or 4 years now. I
personally find it much easier to use for feedback on papers and drafts than track changes, I just think it is far more efficient.”
▫ “I feel that it is a much more immediate form of feedback.”• Professor Mike Elmes
(Organizational Behavior – Management)▫ Free hand comments that preserve the paperless electronic
form of the submission▫ “The students like being able to address the written
comments and then deleting them”• Professor Satya Shivkumar
(Statics – Mechanical Engineering)▫ Ease of use for diagramming complex systems
Pen-based Electronic Feedback

•Advanced▫Diagramming▫Non-text based feedback▫Demonstrative feedback

storage space•Accessibility
▫PowerPoint and screen readers▫Physical accessibility (literal and figurative)
