Q: How does Annoto Saves me time?
A: The beauty of the discussion is that it prevents duplication of questions (once a question was asked, no one will ask it again, as everyone can learn from it). In addition, students can answer students, which really eases off the load.
As for notification emails: You can choose which notifications you would like to receive (you can choose to be notified only on replies to your comments, for example).
Facilitators have also the privilege of managing the discussion from the dashboard, so they don't even have to go to the video in order to be a part of the conversation - replying to all videos is just one-click-away from one another.
Facilitators can choose to go to the dashboard on a timely basis and see all the new comments there, and in this case, they can disable the notification emails, if they are interested.
