Annotation Tool Modes #69

Description

@lduarte1991

Some edX courses will be launching in a few weeks so I've had to take a detour from my clean up to finish up a few features that will be needed. One of them are for there to be different "Modes" for the tool for three seen cases so far:

  1. Default Mode - what currently exists
  2. Read-Only Mode - Instructor will guide users through a text/image/video but does not want them to annotate
    a. For this mode there will probably also be a toggle to allow "replies" to instructor annotations or not
  3. Zen Mode - Usually will only apply to Images--it's basically just a way to display Mirador for deep-zoom images within the tool--but it will work on all media types. This is particularly handy for a target object that is already in our database and that is being/will be/may have been annotated elsewhere. Annotations will be completely off for this mode.

To explain 3 a bit more, there was one particular course (ChinaX) where students were shown an image with no annotations (the huge huge scroll I like to use for demos) then they did a few readings and later on in the course they would see the image again but this time were allowed to annotate given all they'd learn in the intervening lessons.

@arthurian Is there any "mode" you've seen from your use cases that should be added to the list?
