How Do I Write An Essay On My Ipad

[Billy Cromer]

Supercomputers shoved into thin space beneath extra-tough glass. Digi-Slates. Actual Gibsonian, Stephensonian objects from the future. Throw them in your backpack, a few hundred grams, big screen, cellular high-speed connectivity, all-day battery life. Uhm, yes, please.

What do I do on my computers? I write, edit photographs, design books, record and edit audio, send emails, and research online. I also do a bit of web development, and so from time to time I will sit in Terminal.app, git-ing things, knocking on the sides of servers.

iA Writer, Scrivner, and Ulysses are all full featured, totally serviceable writing apps. You can write anything from a grocery list to a John McPhee-esque non-fiction opus on the iPad. Export as PDFs or EPUBs or .docx files. And because iOS is first and foremost designed for single-context use, the default view is full-screen focus-mode. iCloud as a syncing and storage option has matured and now works reliably. Handing off documents from iPad to iPhone to desktop is often seamless.

Photography ushers in a whole separate class of headaches.8 Unquestionably, the iPad Pro should be the ultimate photography editing machine: A gorgeous high resolution, wide-gamut color screen, perfect multi-touch sensitivity, an A-class chip able to rip through raw files. So where does it fail?

See the work of Mike Matas and Bret Victor for examples of how fluid multi-context interactions can be. Everything in the OS could and should be an active object. Considering the power of these machines, it should all flow like a mini Minority Report workstation.

The iPads of today are a far cry from that oddly rounded, difficult to hold, heavy, low-ish resolution first version of the iPad released in 2010. These new iPad Pros are, from a hardware perspective (whispering with hedged hyperbole), quite possibly the most impressive, certainly most beautiful, consumer computers ever made. And so expectations should be high for what we can do with them. We should expect to do more, more easily.

I created an essay type quiz question, which requires the student to type in the essay into the text editor. Accessing this essay type question on the desktop website version is perfectly fine. However, using the mobile app on the ipad the text editor doesn't appear below the essay question. Please take a look at the snapshot of the desktop website version and the mobile app version on the ipad (pics attached). Please suggest possible fix for this lay-man.

I've been using Essayist for years as for a while I only had an iPad as my main driver yet had to write papers for school and this was the only applicaiton that allowed me to do so on the iPad while not only maintaining all APA formatting requirements but making it even easier to cite articles with it's Google Scholar search function. I've also had a couple of times where i'd reach out to their customer support and they were prompt in responding with answers or even potential updates and timing. I highly recommend this app to every student at every level as I used it through my MBA and i'm now using it to complete a doctorate.

I am so glad I found this app because it has come in very handy in writing my essays for college. Essayist is very easy to use and supports many citation styles for all my essay writing needs. Has not let me down yet, thank you!!

It's worth it's weight in gold at least 10X over. I really don't know what I would do without this app. I use it for every single assignment and it's such a time saver and helps make sure everything is correct. I absolutely love it and recommend it to every single person I know in school.

Please take a look at the above mentioned problems again. The brush/eraser problem in case of multiple files is fixed, so there should not be issue anymore. The grading with pencil is also working. Please also consider the newest submission type: Student annotation, which might be more appropriate for a subset of workflows where the students uploaded files to the assignments previously.

With the Canvas Teacher app, you'll love how the Apple Pencil can be used to add annotations to submissions. You'll need to require students to submit supported document formats (PDFs are perfect for this) in order for you to use the Apple Pencil, but the extra step is totally worth it.

I have been using my apple pencil and grading students work in Canvas on my ipad for a year now. Just last week I can no longer write on a student paper if they have submitted more than one page. The brush and eraser appear for page 1, but when I try to correct page 2 the brush and eraser no longer work. Any ideas

As another user has stated above me, the latest update for the Canvas teaching app for IOS, which went live last Wednesday, broke the annotation tool. I have been in contact with support but no solution has happened yet, and I'm sure I'm not the only user that this is affecting critically. Clicking the brush/pen tool for annotating no longer works if a student submits more than one file on an assignment. It works on the first file, but once you navigate to the second or any other subsequent file the brush/pen tool no longer works. So for now, until this is fixed, the annotation tool is broken, and cannot be properly used as described above.

Hi @bpaz and @gruber_m - Yes, with the last update, the mobile team is seeing a few issues, and a couple of them are with SpeedGrader. They are aware of what needs to be adjusted and are already working on getting fixes out. Watch the app store for updates coming soon!
