Thanks all for this thread on video annotation. 

As with everything in our field, it’ll be interesting to see how it develops, how widely it is adopted, and how portable one system is to another (save those quizzes as .txt!)
	
Once you get the video annotation working inside your LMS/blog/wiki, what really matters for faculty and students? How do you engage faculty on the possibilities of these tools? What features work best at different levels and with different kinds of learners? and different teaching situations (e.g. online vs. hybrid, flipped vs. traditional)? What do students think of them? 
	
If these questions bring a smile to your back-to-school face, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy the upcoming IALLT webinar that Shannon Spasova and I are doing on Aug. 17 (shameless plug), Empowering Teachers to Author Their Own Materials: ANVILL, H5P, and Beyond <http://iallt.org/webinars/webinar-8-17-17/>.

We’ll try to continue the spirited conversation that got started in Moorhead, MN, has resurfaced here, and will no doubt go on for some time; please join us.

I guess, a simpler tool with less learning curve like the ones suggested earlier would suit Joe's needs.

It's an authoring tool and feels like using PowerPoint (though more powerful).  The end result is a stand-alone module that you could upload and have learners interact with online.  Unless I'm mistaken, it can interact with LMSs as well.  Adobe Captivate is a comparable product: it's less user-friendly but more wallet-friendly.
