Abstract
NotaBene (NB) is an online collaborative annotation platform, commonly used in classroom settings. NB allows instructors and students to directly interact with online readings or videos, share comments and questions by highlighting areas in the document. The original NB has historically had a poorly maintained codebase and lack system specifications and documentation. We decided that the most efficient way to remedy the problems of the original NB was to redesign and rewrite the entire NB. The system specifications and documentation is included in sections below. Our redesign and rewrite resulted in a more concise and maintainable codebase as well as carefully considered and designed specifications compared to those of the previous NB.
