Note: Canopy is the new name for Annotate PRO (AP), a solution used by thousands of educators worldwide for years. Existing AP users will see the new name but the features they depend on remain and their existing subscriptions persist. Canopy is free to use and you don't need a credit card to get started. There are four subscription levels: 1. Canopy Essentials is forever-free and makes it easy to create and use Templates as a comment bank. 2. Canopy Plus requires a paid subscription and adds Feedback Forms and Dynamic Rubrics. 3. Canopy Assist adds AI-powered draft feedback and document analysis. 4. Canopy Insights adds AI-powered synthesis of Canvas and D2L course data. Institutions can license Canopy to facilitate Template sharing, review aggregate reporting, and specify the exact features available to users. Visit our pricing page to learn more: https://www.11trees.com/pricing/. In Canopy, you create Templates that multiply your expertise, expectations, and voice. You can use them to create comment banks, instructions for AI, or to query Canvas and D2L course data. Canopy Essentials is the best comment bank solution you've ever seen and works with Google Docs, Canvas, Word, D2L, and more. It is completely free. Create Libraries of Templates, specify Favorites, use the Canopy toolbar alongside your favorite solution, and even translate your content on the fly. Canopy Plus extends Templates to build Feedback Forms and Dynamic Rubrics that help you create detailed narrative feedback on in-class essays, live presentations, and other work. Canopy Assist uses Templates as instruction sets to direct AI to analyze documents and draft feedback. You can use Canopy AI, to streamline your workflow, OR your own approved LLM. Canopy does not store student data or use your data to train AI models. Read more in our privacy policy: https://www.11trees.com/privacy-policy/. Canopy Insights combines Templates with custom queries to Canvas and D2L to help educators synthesize course data in ways never before possible. Draft a progress summary for a student, analyze an entire class' rubric results and marging comments, or create a learning outcomes report for accreditation. With Canopy, you are the decision-maker. Canopy Assist and Insights prepare the work. You review, revise, and share it. Learn more: https://www.11trees.com/solutions/annotate-pro/features/.
