Grade papers on Galaxy Note 10.1?

[hokie_prof]

I'm just curious as to whether anyone has tried to grade papers on their Galaxy Note 10.1? I like having that ability to circle items and make notes on the screen with the s-pen. I have the Note 3, but I've been thinking about splurging on the 10.1 for grading and research purposes. I'm hesitant because of it's a pricy device. Any thoughts?

How are you thinking of having students turn in their 'papers'?
Not saying it's a bad idea, just kicking the idea around and hopefully working out some kinks before they are problems.

My students already turn their short papers through a web-based system. They submit them as "word" attachments that I can download to my computer via a website. In the past, whenever they've had a major assignment, I've asked them to turn in a hardcopy so that I can write comments directly on the paper. This semester, I've decided to get them to turn everything in online. (I've been having some trouble with my hands. It makes it difficult for me to flip through pages. I'm relying a lot on dictation software and a trackball mouse right now. That being said, I seem to have less trouble with my hands when I use the stylus on my Note 3 than when I use a keyboard.)

if you have digital Word docs, notating and grading with this Note will be an absolute joy. You can export the word doc to pdf, then hand write your notes and/or add text annotations with s-pen, and send the pdfs back to the students. A great app for this is RepliGo Reader.

I haven't tried RepliGo yet. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out on my phone. I've been trying exPDF Reader, but we currently have a love/hate relationship. I was thinking of trying Kingston Office for grading Word docs, but maybe that isn't the best option.

I like kingsoft. The free version allows editing of documents, but I am not sure if it would do well in how you want it to work.

Do you mean Kingsoft Office? That's what I use, but I export the word docs to pdf to annotate.

 

[hokie_prof]

Oops. I meant Kingsoft. You can tell that I'm a newbie to the device, eh? I actually could ask students to submit their papers at PDFs. That wouldn't be a big deal.

That would make it even easier. But even if a word doc, export to pdf is very easy

The old s note would let you import word pdf documents into it to edit. I haven't found any way to do that in the new s note. But it would be a great idea. The new 10.1 definitely has thepower to do it.

Okay so you can import pdf files into snote but the quality goes to crap.

Do you maintain the high quality file when you move the PDF back over to the PC? I know that is a disaster with S Note. I tried that and couldn't even read my PDF when I moved it.

some pdf files seem worse than others. my issue with doing it that way, is I can't seem to find where to access the tools to change color and thickness of the freehand writing tools in s note, when working on an imported pdf. they are clearly available in a regular note in s note, but not when is a pdf, weird

in Repligo Yes! , in S note not so good

After importing the pdf, open it, click the top right corner on the pencil to edit, then click on the pen image in the top left corner and the pen editing tools will appear.

Boy I must be having a senior moment, here is my cycle of importing pdf into s note

That looks like adobe reader. It's a little weird, but after writing on the screen select save. Then click on what you just wrote and a menu will appear. You can then select the thickness and color of the writing. The next time you write a note it will use those settings.

On the subject of adobe reader, it looks the same as repligo. If you pay for it adobe reader gives you the option to export to word documents as well. Does repligo do anything that Adobe Reader doesn't or am I missing something.

HUH think I just realized part of my problem. When I import a pdf while in the S note app, it appears to be opening it in Adobe reader.

So now to figure how to get the import to work to be opening in s note.

Ha! yep just realized this myself

Doing this with Lecture Notes by adding an additional layer to preserve the original document is so easy. Give Lecture Notes a try first. Easy to import/export pdf files. Far exceeds the other applications.
