IssieDocs is an app that allows students to complete and organize worksheets, using their iPad. Individual worksheets are uploaded as photos or as PDFs and can be easily edited by adding text with the keyboard or marked up using the pen tool. Students can organize their work by filing worksheets into customized folders. Incorporating inclusive design concepts, IssieDocs is accessible for students with a variety of motor and cognitive abilities, allowing different types of learners to navigate and use the app with minimal assistance. It is especially helpful for students who have difficulty completing writing tasks with a regular pen or pencil. In addition to worksheets, it can be a useful tool for adding text or markings to any photo or pdf.
IssieDocs is available in three languages: English, Hebrew and Arabic.
IssieDocs was developed through a collaboration of The Technology Center of Beit Issie Shapiro and SAP Labs, Israel.
