What level of interactivity is supported? Some issues with display of a video.
I imported a Notebook file containing two pages. The first page contains two image shapes and a YouTube video in Notebook.
When viewed with Learning Suite Online on the student device, the first page only shows the video - the two shapes are hidden.
Using a different notebook file, I signed into the class as a student using Chrome on an iPad. The changes made by the teacher are not shown in the student's view, like when I draw a circle around one shape. Reloading that iPad Chrome tab did not show the drawn circle.

Assuming is dangerous.
Not every teacher works the same way, and I agree that live annotations, by the teacher and the student (and controlled from the teacher's computer of course) would be a great addition to the Smart Learning Suite.
It also saves time having students come to the board. They no longer have to because they can annotate from their own computer with the mouse or the keyboard.
The "live annotation" option is definitely a good thing to add.

Thanks for the feedback, Michael. Currently, we only support displaying full page videos, so if you have a video on the page it will hide all the other objects. We are looking into having videos and other content show up side by side. As for the student-side behaviour, when a student joins a lesson, he/she gets a copy of the lesson at that moment. Live synchronized annotations are not supported right now because it's assumed that students will still pay attention to the front of room display or board for annotations made by the teacher. The student's copy of the lesson is mainly to provide reference and the ability for them to complete their own copy of any activities embedded in the lesson. Please let us know your desired workflow so we can look into supporting it in the future.
