Annotating with Cynap
- Pull up the screen you wish to annotate on.
- Tap the Ellipses menu to bring up the toolbar.
- Select the pen icon in the top left corner of the toolbar. The screen will be frozen, symbolized by the snowflake icon, which means you cannot interact with the screen while annotating.
The annotation tools are:
- Pens and forms
- Line width and opacity
- Colors.
- Edit which will allow the user to take screenshots throughout the presentation.
- And collaboration.
To allow students to annotate with you, instructors need to turn on collaborations with the toggle and provide the pin code that regenerates each time.
It is suggested to organize groups or teams prior to moving the sliders to allow access.
Students will open a browser on their device and enter the Cynap IP address. They will also create a nickname and they will need the pin code. Students can then annotate your content.
You can manage this by toggling on and off the slider of each group.
To end annotations, tap the left arrow at the left of the Cynap toolbar. You’ll be prompted to clear all and end, or you can save a snapshot to a local drive which can then be uploaded to the cloud or loaded to a USB stick. Freeze screen will be off.
