Kami - PDF and Document Annotation

In or out of the classroom, Kami provides tools to support any learning style, drive engagement, and improve learning outcomes for all! Now, teachers can spend less time on tiresome admin, and more time with their students.

You’ll instantly level up your documents, PDFs, images (or any other resource) to an interactive learning space. From there, you and your students can collaborate in real-time through live annotations, video and audio recordings, drawings, and much, much more. Kami keeps you teaching and learning—whenever, wherever—by allowing you to feedback, grade, and push student work straight from your preferred LMS, including Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and Microsoft Teams.

Why Kami?

Every student succeeds:
• Kami encourages success for all students, regardless of ability, by providing inclusive and intuitive tools that support any learning style: Text-to-speech, voice-typing, freehand drawing, audio and video comments, and more. 
By empowering students to learn their own way, Kami keeps a class engaged and inspired, whether that’s in-person, remote, or blended.

Resources are elevated:
• Physical or digital; Kami can work with any document or file type you’re already comfortable using (like PDFs, slides, spreadsheets, or image files) and elevate it from a static resource to an interactive learning space where teacher and peer collaborations can flourish. Plus, you’ll never be on your own – embracing Kami means you share exciting new resources with any teacher in our community. 

Teachers save time:
• Less time spent handling endless stacks of paper means more time for your students, your resources, and yourself! Kami keeps things simple by seamlessly integrating with your LMS, including Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and Microsoft Teams, to power a streamlined assessment workflow and real-time collaboration. 

Schools save money:
• Embracing Kami means saying “see-ya” to all costs associated with traditional, paper-based methods like printing, copying, and filing. And trust us – those costs add up! Plus, you can get all our essential tools without the high price point. There are several different license options available depending on how you're looking to use Kami.
