Marginalia annotation for Moodle

Thanks to a post by Steven O’Donnell at moodle.org, I have discoverd very interesting tool called Marginalia. Marginalia is an open source Javascript web annotation system written by Geof Glass. It allows users of web applications to highlight text and write margin notes as they can do in a desktop word processor. There is a demo site available where you can check how this stuff works.

As Steven noticed in his post, this would be a great feature for teachers and/or students to comment forum posts, online submission texts or (what a surprise ;-) ) a peer work in the new workshop module. Eventualy this might become a standard part of the Moodle core extending the current Comments 2.0 proposal. I am definitely going to consider this in the future.
