Aji has announced that their popular iPad app iAnnotate PDF will be part of the required course materials for first-year medical school students at Stanford. Apple recently announced that educational institutions will be able to buy apps in bulk through iTunes, and as part of a trial program to integrate the iPad into academics, Stanford School of Medicine will now be providing all of their first-year students with iPads. Recently updated to include full Dropbox and VGA support, iAnnotate is optimized to be the ideal tool to improve the student learning experience.

"We've been working with Stanford to improve live note-taking and automatic distribution of lecture materials to their students. Many medical professionals have found iAnnotate especially useful in their work, so Stanford's iPad program is a perfect fit for the app," says Jim Brink, Founder of Aji. In the near future, the company will offer the ability to integrate iAnnotate technology directly into businesses and schools with enterprise support. This will facilitate easy group device configuration, shared documents, and remote push synchronization.

iAnnotate is a complete annotation solution that gives students and other professionals the ability to take notes, highlight and underline in documents and diagrams with the drag of a finger. iAnnotate eliminates the need for voluminous printed texts and easily consolidates and organizes notes and documents. Teachers can quickly grade assignments, and share annotated diagrams, charts or syllabi. Students can easily email and share notes on PDFs to their study groups.


New features for iAnnotate 1.2 include Dropbox and VGA support as well as optimizations to finger/pen movements, improved responsiveness, screen-based navigation and better security. Combined with users ability to transfer PDFs via email, iTunes sync or even clicking any PDF web link, iAnnotate has never been more powerful.

"It's really exciting to be able to bring this streamlined approach to learning into the classroom through iPad. It's just an incredibly simple way to go green and paperless while taking notes, studying and grading with iAnnotate," says Jim Brink, Founder of Aji. "Anyone who works with PDFs will love iAnnotate, and in 1.2 we've added a ton of functionality."
