Bid Questions
|
Question
|
1. Would you be able to provide us with a basic user flow with the desired software solution? Does a user log in to Canvas, download a document, and have the software provide corrections through highlighted text? Is there an expectation to make edits to the document in the platform? Any details would be very helpful.
|
|
Answer
|
This should be provided by the Supplier as the software should have already been written. The University is not looking to have a Supplier write a new product specifically for the University.

Largely text-based, but some projects do embed images. The University has several slide deck assignments that require students to consider effective visual layouts on a PPT slide, and it would be good to have students receive feedback on that as well.
